We're removing drugs, non & late payers, unsightly dilapidated homes & shipping containers (for on-site furniture store).

Look for properties with similar characteristics such as location, size, condition, and income potential.

What about neighborhood characteristics?

@Achraf El Churafa The insurance carrier that will be most competitive really depends on the characteristics of the building. 

So far we have: Removed several unsightly and dangerous trees on the property.

Frame of reference: I’m new to this, but very involved in multi family day to day (wholesale insurance broker) so extremely good understanding of characteristics besides ownership/operating/finance.I’m talking sunbelt properties, far away from water or high crime areas.

When it comes to short-term rentals, the characteristics of the property and the way it's managed can make a huge difference when it comes to the profitability.

I don't really look at a property as having the Characteristics of Cash Flowing or not.... that's for me to do if I choose to do so.In most cases, if the future value criteria shows great growth in appreciation, I will work out the financing so that it will break even on Cash Flow.

-Market characteristics exist.

What are some characteristics we should look for (either existing or that we can add) that will help these rentals stand out against others in the area?
