In this episode of The STR Data Lab , CEO of AirDNA Rohit Bezewada sits down with C2G Advisors' Managing Partner Jacobie Olin. They unpack the realities behind today’s M&A market for property managers, cutting through the noise of tech buzzwords and surface-level metrics. If you’ve ever wondered how growth, profitability, and operations translate into valuation, this conversation brings clarity where it matters most. The truth is, buyers aren’t chasing shiny tools or trendy “AI-native” claims—they’re focused on fundamentals. Clean financials, predictable revenue trends, strong margins, and a capable team still win the day. But layered on top of that are evolving deal structures, shifting expectations around growth, and a competitive landscape where demand for quality operators continues to outpace supply. Whether you’re planning to sell soon or just building with the end in mind, understanding these dynamics can shape smarter decisions today. Zooming out, they also explore where the STR industry is headed: continued consolidation at the top, rapid growth among mid-sized operators, and the role technology (including AI) may play in expanding margins—not valuations—over time.
