Current skillsI have an analytical mindset, and have extensive experience with building complex excel spreadsheets.

Id love to connect and discuss the basics on how you are doing analytics and any unforeseen things to be aware of in the inner city of Milwaukee.

I have graphic design business that takes care of the creative side of my brain, and I'm here to get into REI to take care of the analytical side.

Last year for me was mainly filled with performing deep analytics on hundred of properties, placing offers on several, only to be beaten out either on price or to all cash buyers.  

Just be super conservative with numbers like extra high expences, plan for larger vacancy %So what do people think are best analytics for evaluating STRs? 

If you’re going to be reAlly aggressive like this, I might encourage you to use airdna to check the analytics on this area.

After reviewing their site and signing up, I was intrigued by their analytics and data for each of their properties.

To lesson my risk I typically focus on 1) Location (limited supply, growing population, growing jobs, affordable), 2) Was the underwriting conservative - most good syndicators already devalue the CAP rate when doing analytics 5 CAP at entry, 6 at exit, so all the value is driven by increasing NOI vs appreciation, 3) Already Cash flowing/CAP rates not too crazy 4-6 for a class B asset - I put 80% of my deals in cash flowing assets so you can just cash flow and hold long term if needed. 

It has awesome analytic tools built in that Airbnb does not have.My advise is if you have a true vacation rental you should use both.

As a full-time analytics consulting manager, I’m particularly skilled in data analytics, communication / presentations, all things technology, and project management.
