    2024 Predictions Jan 04, 2024
    Show notes

    This episode of STRonomics is proudly sponsored by MarketMySTR.com, the leading marketing platform for STR Industries.


    In this episode of STRonomics, hosts Bill Faeth and Kenny Bedwell discuss the outlook for short term rental investors in 2024. They reckon that the future market performance largely hinges on factors like interest rates, the economy, and election outcomes. They also highlight how booking lead times seem to be slowly increasing in the US, evidencing a gradual return to normalcy in tourism after the pandemic-induced slump. On the other hand, they predict real estate markets in the US will become highly competitive and any future value growth will be much harder to secure. Lastly, they caution potential investors to thoroughly scrutinize property deals, considering long-term plans and steading clear from overtly inflated markets.

They also emphasize the importance of uniqueness in this competitive field and how it helps to understand the target audience better for maximum returns. The hosts further discuss how marketers need to adopt these strategies according to the shift in the market trends, leaning towards either high-end or low-end properties, leaving the conventional middle-market path.

    Underwriting Properties In Today's Volatile Climate Nov 09, 2023
    Show notes

    This episode is Sponsored by MarketMySTR.com the STR Industries #1 marketing platform.

    Topic: Underwriting for Short-Term Rentals:

    • Emphasis on the need for diligent underwriting in the current market.
    • Highlighting the importance of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) in underwriting.

    Key Takeaways:

    1. Proper Underwriting:

    • Overestimating revenue and underestimating expenses can lead to costly mistakes in short-term rental investments.

    2. Expense Estimation:

    • Typically, expenses range from 35% to 50% of gross revenue, depending on the market.
    • Underestimating expenses can result in inaccurate projections.

    3. Granularity in Calculations:

    • Standard calculators lack the detail needed for accurate underwriting.
    • Advanced performance calculators help identify issues in specific expense categories.

    4. Hidden Expenses:

    • Expenses like insurance, utilities, and climate-related costs can be overlooked but are crucial.

    5. Market-Specific Expenses:

    • Expenses vary by market; consider factors like snow plowing and trash collection.

    6. Interest Rate Impact:

    • Changing interest rates can affect mortgage expenses, so stay updated on current rates.

    7. Set-Up Time and Costs:

    • Factor in the time and costs required to prepare the property for guests, including travel expenses.

    8. Annual and Legal Fees:

    • Include fees for LLC renewals, legal matters, taxes, and miscellaneous costs in projections.

    9. Tech Fees:

    • Account for technology fees associated with property management, pricing tools, and marketing.

    10. Conservative Projections:

    - Overestimate expenses by 10% and underestimate revenue by 10% in your pro forma calculations for a more conservative outlook.
