Better to look at data.

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.

I have never been shy of facing challenges and I truly believe knowledge is power (something my grandfather taught me at a young age)I really want to learn everything there is to learn about realestate and am driven and hungry.Thanks in advance for any suggestions or recommendations.

Like @Collin Hays said, it is being driven more by neighbors tired of poor STR owners not keeping things sorted.We only look for places in vacation areas with a long history of owner driven STRs vs big cities and the like.

Quote from @Youssef Pullman: Where do you guys get your cold calling lists from in dallas , Houston texas , am struggling finding a good data to work with and i have a team of 2 cold callersHey Youssef, I am the owner of DealMachine.

I've spent HOURS onboarding my properties and data manually. 

And, yes, there are years of data points to validate that just within my office, tens of thousands of dollars of wasted appraisal and inspection fees for deals (mostly not mine, thankfully) that had 0.00% of going anywhere but the "Loan Application Declined" bin. 

I'd suggest checking local Airbnb/VRBO data or using AirDNA to see occupancy rates and average nightly rates in the area.

We verify project feasibility and construction scope; and use 3rd party valuations and internal data to verify the as-is and subject to value.
