You can use a tool like AirDNA to get estimates of property performance in your specific market and with your typical size and configuration of home.

You have the tools and mindset that work with larger scale commercial so I would network until you meet someone who may let you run some of their deals with them and see what they look like in person.

The folks on BP are a great resource as is all the training and tools. 

I believe Pricelabs is offering a pricing strategy and market analysis info more in line with hotels, and that might be a good tool for you to look at.

Is Bigger Pockets no longer offering AIRDNA under tools as part of the pro membership?

This is the true organizational and budgeting tool that every investor should be using for their projects.

Are there specific metrics or tools you rely on?

Posting on BP and using as a tool would be good though.
