Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

I guess people need to make notes  and read books and  see Youtube videos and then target a  few markets and then use zillow  etc to see long term appreciation etc and then formulate who they want to team up with to start the journey..

While opinions may vary, I rely on data to help drive real estate decisions and planning.Key ConsiderationsEducational Attainment: 77008 boasts higher numbers of residents with bachelor's (12,241) and master's degrees (5,739) compared to 77063.Demographics: 77063 has a higher percentage of foreign-born residents (41.02%) which typically indicates a strong rental market and with 76.86% renter-occupied versus 32.60% in 77008.Economic Factors: Median income in 77008 is $140,609 with a low unemployment rate of 3.37%, whereas 77063 shows lower median income ($51,899), higher unemployment (9.99%), and more families below the poverty level (16.51%), which may indicate economic diversity but also potential rental payment risks​​.Age Distribution: 77008 has more middle-aged residents (35-54) [8970 compared to 6,115] and a slightly higher proportion of young adults (25-34) compared to 77063 but both are popular with younger adults suggesting strong rental markets equally exist.

When I first started my STR business in 2019, I watched F&G and other similar videos (such as Noelle Randall on business credit cards), and subsequently started making application for business cards.  

Many people overlook it when evaluating their properties.I've created a few videos on BP YouTube around Return on Equity.

Or they can be real POS's like this video shows... 

The median price for my market Milwaukee is $225,000 (which BTW has doubled in the last 9 years), so anything below is C and anything below half the median (112k) is D.I pulled numbers yesterday on every neighborhood for my next YouTube video and we have seen the highest % of median sales price increase YTD (the closest thing we have to measure appreciation) and the best neighborhoods are seeing the highest % - even though their median sales price is already the highest.You can map that out by simply putting a hypothetical portfolio in the BP rental calculator and see what happens after 10 years to a cash flow portfolio or an appreciation portfolio.

I find families with children or groups of adults staying at my STR do more damage whether intentionally or accidentally than my longer stay midterm guests.
