lol 😂 That benchmark cuts through a lot of great tenants and a lot of the population as a whole lol Personally, I take a holistic look at the whole applicant from the time they walk into my property.

My wife did not want it so I kept it. 13 years later I have over 100k in equity.Look at it holistically, analyze the appreciation, debt pay down, can you manage it a few years and such.

It's great to look at your market, understand your property class, and know the type of tenants that will be living in your units so you can best accommodate them.In my opinion, I'd recommend a holistic approach when considering rent raises. 

They also appear to run a related business called "Holistic REI" or "Holistic Investments". 

It's about taking a holistic picture vs a focus on individual factors. 

If you want a holistic view of your returns you need to factor in appreciation which typically beats cashflow, amortization, and the ninja perk; tax advantages.

I want to make sure I take holistic view.  

When looking holistically, Evansville is a high-yield (cashflow) market that you can build a great team and find some great opportunities in. 

Meanwhile I want to understand the rents part better to have a holistic picture of whether the numbers work given the risk.

What I usually do is use Mashvisor's free or trial data to look at a location, buy AirDNA for one month to look at the data, and then also start spreadsheets while pouring through Airbnb and VRBO to get a holistic idea of what the rental numbers should look like.
