That's why it's a smart move to obtain estimates from various sources, not just the major players like Zillow and Realtor.

I have a preference to investing in texas but looking all over the red states.

Vacant property, out of state owner, wants cash, can't get you in to see the house... these are all scam red flags.

For example...that map has some very nice areas of Detroit (expensive neighborhoods) as red...so if i had to guess, I'd say that one is just a bit generic. 

p=876Whenever I see a message that includes Medium Term Notes or MTNs .. a very large red flag flies.

Im quickly learning that escrow seems to be the more important player in this.

Same thing somebody showed up with a great big roll of RED TAPE and messed up the whole project !!!

Some people treat their STR like a hobby and others treat it like a business.You don’t know the numbers are based on if owners use it 3 months a year themselves, or manage it themselves and have STR knowledge or farm it out to a competent or incompetent property manager.In one area I invest in, the biggest players are all large direct booking sites with hundreds of properties so their revenue doesn’t show up on airDNA, etc.Use conservative numbers and understand your skills in terms of getting a property to be unique, marketing, listing management, etc. or the competency of the PMs you are interviewing.Good luck!
