I have rental data, analytics, and entire market analysis in Reno, NV.

If this were my property, I’d run a detailed rental analysis (from what I’ve read in Forbes) to see if the short term route could outpace traditional leasing.

Dominic, I've found that participating on BiggerPockets forums, appearing on podcasts, and speaking at conferences have built trust with first-time passive investors when those forum posts, podcast discussions, and conference presentations show my experience, track record, and market knowledge to those reading, listening, or attending.This doesn't mean "selling from the stage", but instead, sharing actionable, useful information that I've gleaned from my many years of experience and from my own research. 

Probably got into a bit of analysis paralysis at this point.

No matter the stage of the market, there’s always reasons not to invest. - Prices are too high- Prices are falling- Interest rates are too high- My Cousins, Mothers, Sister told me that Real Estate is too riskyThere’s never a “perfect” time, but everyone wishes that they started sooner.

McKinney and Princeton have been growing a lot and it is a good place to invest, but it is always related to what you are looking to achieve in a rental investment, appreciation or cash flow.At this time that area does not offer a big cash flow and due to the amount of development going on there, rental demand has declined a bit.In any case you have to make an analysis case by case.

Nonetheless, you can base the DSCR calculation on PadSplit rent (if there's a history of PadSplit income being produced) or short-mid-term market rent (an analysis done at the same time of appraisal).

Along the deal analysis I am looking to buy and use Deal Machine.Sounds like a great plan! 

It's fantastic you decided to jump in.. have you mapped out your first property analysis yet?
