Then compare it to my data-fed program.

It's obviously a lot more complicated to compare the different business models, making the blanket statement "Us commishes are 3x higher" extremely flawed logic.

Below I will list some steps you can take…You need to put together a good list of comparable properties.

I hope the comparative market analysis I just sent over view email helps.

Single family is less drama compared to MF.

Electric heating compared to gas heating is much more expensive, so if the tenant is going to use it, definitely have them pay for it.

Compare this to selling the Market A property in year 3 which has appreciated 5% a year and is now worth $550,000.00.

I'm also a former math teacher, so trust me, setting up an S-Corp for operations is NOTHING compared trying to get 30 twelve year olds at an urban school to learn math according to state standards.

There will always be demand in the market (it's not like some covid markets that could disappear as vacation destinations almost entirely over the next decade), and the regulation risk is as near to zero as you can get in this industry so long as you buy in the approved tourist zones (again, compared to some smaller/less mature markets where they could outlaw STRs tomorrow).For short period cash flow there are better options. 

But there are also some real challenges, like dealing with lower tenant quality on average, the extra red tape, annual inspections, and the longer time it takes to get tenants placed compared to the open market.
