Class C is volatile - that's the short version of my story. 

Although the "free version" provides a ton on useful information, the "premium/ paid-for version" seems to provide wider variety of helpful tools and features that further streamline the RE research process.

Have you checked to see if there is a paid version of your tax assessor's site?

Obviously there is no guarantee but if someone with a high level of success and experience was willing to do all that, it is likely a go.Yes it is true there is seasonality in hospitality but with proper budgeting you will be fine.For estimates I personally use AirDNA (Paid version) and then double check it using enemy method.

.- You should pay for the premium version so you can see the comps that went into their calculation to factor if you have a superior or inferior product.- AirDNA is more accurate in areas with more comps and less variation in amenities and unique properties.- Check results against enemy methodBest of luck!
