However, much of our document and data collection was handled by loan analyst Taylor Vassey.

This goes the same for calculating rents in the area, I what to know the real data.. i.e. from the MLS, or insurance from the broker/insurance agent to make the right decision.

Based on the data I saw from ABOR the median price YoY (2023 to 2024) was slightly up (around 2%) and the rent was flat to slightly down.

To further boost occupancy and revenue, consider revisiting a dynamic pricing tool like PriceLabs, as it works best with more time and data to adjust rates competitively.

When a Class A apartment can be had for the same price as a Class B/C renovated unit, the B/C operator drops prices, and so on.But, in terms of making an investment decision, I think it is short sighted to rely purely on full market average data.  

All units would be metered so data would be there to bill the tenants (so no ability to question the bill) but landlord would still pay the bill given we can not have 4 main master water meters (can only do 2 x1 master meter + x1 sub meter combinations). 

Most hard money Lenders can't give you final approval without the property because they do an analysis to determine what their risk is. 

Given all your data on historic pricing, average length of stay, and pricing at the 25th percentile, please let us know if you're able to push up the VRBO chain to speak to a Supervisor (or equivalent) and have them verify the data that supports your position.I can share that calling the VRBO support line: 877-202-4291, identifying yourself & property ID, and requesting a Supervisor politely and repeatedly, can lead to different outcomes.

I usually start by analyzing data like population growth, job opportunities, and rental demand.

Quote from @JD Martin: I would have to see actual data on a median & value adjusted basis to believe that OK is anywhere near Fl on a dollar for dollar comparison.
