The “attractive business model” is fake created to generate revenue through social media views and paid content. You are sucker if you think it’s real.
Save up the capital to purchase your own property and launch your own STR business and you will also have the knowledge to make it successful (hopefully housing prices and interest rates come down – now is just not a good time TBH). People who run successful STRs do not arbitrage because with owning you not only have cash flow from managing but also gain wealth through asset appreciation tax advantages and debt leverage.
With arbitrage your landlord will get all of those advantages and you hold all the risk. Ideally you want your work and effort to pay your mortgage and not someone else’s mortgage. This is why arbitrage is a poor use of your time and effort.
