    So my business partner and I sold our short term rental property in Austin. We bought it in 2021. Did awesome for the first year and half, then rentals fell way down. Place had a perfect location just off of the best part of South Congress. We would be booked by remote workers for a month at a time.
     

    Then in 2023, whammo, nada. We had exemplary ratings (we included local foods for free and a restaurant gift card cause we’re awesome) but the market changed and after appearing on page 1 of a search for a South Congress location, we fell to page 7,  as the market flooded with new properties. We sold at a profit (thank heavens) but we were starting to look at a serious loss as rentals had dwindled to key Austin weekends. 
     

    Anyone else experience the same? Was it due to people pulling their properties off the sales market and converting them to STRs? Curious to hear your views. 

    Hotels have adjusted to the competition while Airbnb continues to add fees and cities impose taxes. I found hotels in San Diego, Costa Mesa, and Culver City under 100 dollars while Airbnb’s would advertise around 150 but always end up at $250

  2. The 2024 election will be a test of which party loses the fewest voters from 2020 COVID election. Record breaking numbers occurred everywhere that cycle and will not happen again outside of a few states. Dem states expanded access to the ballot and largely kept it, Republicans have done everything to stop it. The states needed to win have all expanded access I believe. Democrats are having their third straight all or nothing heart attack election with Trump and resounding midterm wins that has influenced two generations of engaged, young, and now CONSISTENT voters.

    The turnout myth of Donald Trump is not proven in Texas. Feel free to disagree. Defeatism without numbers is just pigeon talk.
    In 2016 his first year on top ballot, Republicans in Texas only showed a 3% gain in voters from 2012. Democrats the same year had a 17.2% growth in voters.
    In Covid year 2020, Republicans increased turnout in the state by 25.7% for Donald Trump, however Democrats increased turnout by 35.62%. 

    In fact if you look at the gain in voters from Presidential from 2000 to 2020 in Texas you would say the side with the most momentum and team you want to hitch a future to is D. I even used growth cycle for sales ops and rev ops nerds.

    None of those things have anything to do with the presidential election or Biden/Trump

    Serves them right for starting this thread in January for a November election. I’ve been holding off on the Texas Primary thread just to prove a point that Trump fever is dead. 
     

     

  4. Good for her, and not in a sarcastic way. Small enough state to campaign and meet people. Easy to understand imagery. Would be interesting to see how this plays with Bank of North Dakota history flying in the face of the people they tend to vote for

    I can only imagine the cognitive conflicts going through one of my classmates mind. Very wealthy Latino entrepreneur from Edinburgh that told me he supports Abbott’s bussing programs but at the same time he also volunteers at local nonprofits that helping these migrants. Guy is proud of the valley going purple. I get the Democrats were corrupt in that area but  supporting Maga types confuses me. 

    The bussing encourages more illegal immigration, tell him that

    What in the world are you babbling about?

    Nothing you said is even remotely true.

    Please post quotes of me worrying about being able to pay off my debts.  I don't have any debts other than a CC I pay off each month.

    Imagine this douchebag trying to gaslight you about debt
