Do you stay in your lane, or explore something new?

That said, I’d recommend exploring states like Florida or Texas, where you could find some properties meeting your criteria, and there's no state income tax.

Common issues include incomplete data (e.g., missing property taxes or HOA fees), unreliable rent estimates, and the time-consuming process of manually calculating metrics like cash flow or ROI.Platform Preference: A web-based platform would work well for in-depth analysis, but a mobile app would be crucial for on-the-go research and quick evaluations, especially when touring properties.Wish-List Features: A tool that integrates local market data (rental demand, appreciation rates, or vacancy rates) and offers scenario modeling (e.g., "What happens if I increase rents by 10%?")

I understand that AirDNA shouldn't be the sole source of data.

It's good to look at data and then your lifestyle, time, and energy to find the greatest city to invest.

Additional Details:The property is in a desirable area with good amenities nearby.STR data from AirDNA shows decent revenue potential, but the lack of comps makes me hesitant.I’m looking for a balanced approach that minimizes risk, even if STR performance doesn’t hit expectations.If anyone has experience investing in Cincinnati or navigating markets where STR data is sparse, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

This is something that even I didn't pick up in my data analysis, and I'm supposed to be the "market analysis guy."

Has anyone seen data/reports on which platforms prospective tenants gravitate to the most?

Hey @Vhernadette Sasing, with your high income and limited time, a solid approach might be investing in cash-flowing assets that are low maintenance, like passive multifamily syndications, or exploring online businesses with recurring revenue models (e.g., SaaS, subscription-based e-commerce).
