For more in-depth economic and housing data, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and U.S.

Hey Zachary, I appreciate your in-depth input.

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.

High inflation, wages not keeping up, supply slowly rising, demand slowly falling, rates pending for a controlled easing... these factors point to a correction but nowhere near the depth / breadth of '08.NAR ruling is also another factor (though many agents will disagree) that will take much longer to see its effects but is pending for some housing adjustments.

I came across one but did not have the depth or actual experience dealing with RE and outside of the US.

The wealth of information shared is nothing short of mind-expanding, covering diverse aspects of the subject matter.What sets this mentorship apart is not just the depth of knowledge but the genuine camaraderie among members.

This might reduce your overall interest costs and allow you to secure a more attractive rate compared to a traditional 20% down payment scenario.Platforms for State → City → Suburb → Street Analysis:For narrowing down markets, here are some platforms I recommend:Zillow and Realtor.com for broad market data, filtering by city/suburb/street.Roofstock for turnkey rental properties with in-depth neighborhood analysis.Mashvisor for detailed real estate analysis, including cash flow and rental estimates.Redfin and NeighborhoodScout for granular street-level data, crime statistics, school ratings, and property value trends.Once you narrow down to the city level, I agree that leveraging local resources—real estate agents, local investor networks, or property managers—will be key to gaining more granular insights on specific neighborhoods and streets.If you’d like, I can also provide you with a sample DSCR terms sheet to further illustrate potential terms.

Hi @Josh Fugle, I'd love to chat with you in more depth!

(My assumption is it may be tough to prove enough material participation if using someone local to manage.)Two things worth noting:1- I'll be discussing with my CPA in-depth soon, but would like to hear other's experiences on this.2 - The main reasons I'm looking to STR's is the tax benefits (Cost-Seg) & appreciation that comes with buying in these areas opposed to the mid-west where I look for long-term rentals..

So after further research, I found this great publication from 1980 on Encouraging Energy Conservation in Multifamily Properties that talks very in depth about RUBS.
