I have my accounts set up in the "Profit First" method by Mike Michalowicz, and so far, things are going great!

I have found lots of heirs with that simple method.

The other way is called the Enemy Method, where you go to Airbnb and Vrbo, look at your direct competitors, and figure out how full their calendars are, at what prices, keep a tally of their income, and make a guess as to their yearly gross.

As your real estate empire grows, consolidating loans into one could offer better terms and streamline management.Overall, your method of buying, living, and then converting properties into rentals is a strong, scalable strategy for building wealth. 

I'm using the ENEMY method, AirDNA, Mashvisor, Revedy, and Pricelabs for comps and analysis.I was able to select the market and community that is marketed as vacation rental homes and most of the houses are set up as STR.

So I made a compromise with myself, instead of putting that $100 directly to my principle, I'm opening a brokerage account that will have $100 deposited into it automatically every month and invested in index funds using dollar cost averaging method.

Tell ya what, once you've hit journey in just 2 trades I will let you attempt to talk down to me. 

Market Research: What methods do you use to analyze and understand your target market?

There's no seller resistance 9 times out of 10 and I get these properties 30-40 cents on the dollar.If your wholesaling this is def a method you need to implement in your business.

Google and use the enemy method.
