Plus I recently got a brand new calculator, wanted to see what out of state investors though the most important aspects of deciding between to similar rates cap rates in 2 varied size apartment. 

(Starbucks / yoga studio / craft brewery /boutique cookie,coffe or ice cream shop  are the easiest targets)-Activation of dormant retail sites-Increased foot traffic For B to AAbove also apply-Home valuations (are homes in the increasing at rates above nearby or similar neighborhoods)-Is it walkable or are projects in place to make it highly walkable for residents-Is it near highly desirable activity centers -is it unique (for example - Can it get historic designation)

That will get you looking at cash flow and end up in a lower rated area than you think.

The city is changing the zoning in the area.

Quote from @Chris Lo: Which platforms/websites do landlords use to find the rent rate, how long the rental properties have been on the market, and all the details about other rental properties?

Put an end date to this as well in case the closing date pushes out which could change things.

Currently we are seeing STR owners posting for sale due to reduction in prices they can get per night and the vacancy rate increasing. 

However, if you don't know the layout here, it's best to get with those that do as properties change street by street and sometimes even on the same street.

Also you could start with local Plan-printing companies as they're always printing plan sets for architects and designers before they go to county and after the county comes back with changes.

From fluctuating interest rates to evolving buyer demand, navigating today’s market requires flexibility and strategy.Are you seeing more opportunities in flips, rentals, or commercial properties?
