They're not bad kids, but they are kids. 4) CONSTANT TURNOVER80% of my properties turn over every single year.

The top chart below quickly shows you what the renovated, avg and distressed homes sell for in that area on a $/sf basis over time, so if you are estimating way over the top line, you instantly know something is off, maybe you have an outlier comp on your hands, etc.It doesn't have STR data, because any STR we build must also pencil as a LTR to avoid being upside down if it doesn't workout, so we use normal residential lease data when underwriting our rentals.As for forecasts on the market, I don't do any aside from the current Q trending % at the footer of the charts, and it's really just the current Q's average data/performance held constant and applied to the rest of the quarter (since not fully done with Q yet).
