From all of that data, it's abundantly clear to me that any rental that has debt doesn't really cash flow.

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.

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.  

My goal is to build a data-driven tool that provides actionable insights into which neighborhoods and property types are in the highest demand, based on metrics like:Time on market: How quickly rentals are being leased.Property characteristics: Bedrooms, bathrooms, size, and amenities.Pricing trends: Rental rates relative to market demand and property features.Visual quality: Leveraging property photos to analyze the style and condition of rentals that perform well.The tool will allow users to:Pinpoint areas with the fastest rental turnovers.Understand what types of properties (size, price range, features) rent the quickest.Gain deeper insights into property presentation and amenities that correlate with high demand.Thank you in advance for your feedback.

As I look to grow, I’m considering joining a coaching/mentorship program like Partner Driven or something similar.

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.
