Point being that property you acquire 1-2 years ago is likely to be subject to deferred maintenance and capex, so their "long term" performance in rankings 1), 3) might skew poorly in year 1-2 but may pickup  after you've found and fixed all the hidden issues.I know if i did this exercise across my portfolio, the recently acquired ones wouldn't be fairly "stacked" because of all the year 1-2 cost build up from what the seller deferred, but have good chances at being future performers in years 3-5.Maybe that's why you have 2) and 5) but curious your general thoughts here are for evaluating this. 

A general rule of thumb though (not a hard rule) is that if a market has a prolonged history of vacation rentals such as towns whose commerce is very dependent on tourism like beach or mountain towns, then there is a good chance than those towns have established their airBNB regulations decades ago and are likely stable.

I hoping this role will help me get my feet wet in the industry and give me a chance to learn the ropes while building valuable connections.

If the developer that you're partnering with has experience doing similar deals, then there's a good chance that they have construction expertise and easy access to deals. 

I would at least start there and good timing to figure out a plan with spring slowly approaching and our busier sales season in WI.  

I currently own a few properties here in Bryan-College Station, I have a full time sales job so try to stay as passive as possible.
