    Hey Rob, Love your videos. Serious question though: are you worried about an oversaturation problem happening in the near-term future. Let's say everybody's trying to get into this Airbnb game. You got double the supply but the demand stays the same. Do you ever fear that this could drastically harm your profitability in the future?

      If you really think about it, everyone could own an Airbnb because people would vacation at each other's place. But the reality is the percentage of the population that would even seriously consider this, let alone follow through, is insanely low. Risk aversion is widespread.

      In my experience, rentals are considered by lenders more of a risk and vacation rentals sparactic income are not viewed as reliable income either as in showing a steady long term rental lease and monthly income to qualify for loans. I suspect this man has a lot of capital to begin with and mutiple mortgages is a house of cards!

    and want to add some cabins and put them on air BnB for short-term rental
    but keep hearing I cant. but I live in property so don't see why not. need some expert help.
    I am in parker county in texas west of fort worth, the county is an open zoning area, and no permits are needed
    FHA rules say only can be rental after living in the property for longer than a year then you can rent it but longer than 30 days no short term rental allowed but I guess that's for a primary residence
    it's not clear for adu and I am still living on the property.

    Home prices in the US are a lot higher than they were pre-pandemic. What would you say to someone who's interested in starting, but concerned that the much higher cost of home buying (relative to people who bought pre-pandemic) would potentially make it really hard to compete with larger houses in better areas? When trying to calculate the mortgage, utilities and management fees (for those who need that) it looks like the price per night would be too high and not many people would want to stay there.
