that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Let me know if you want to get connected with data and resources in the area. 

I just reached out to a host on Airbnb who has properties I want to try and model mine after (based on AirDNA data).

Data point: we have a long-term rental in a popular STR neighborhood listed through Zillow right now.Every person who writes asking to do some sort of arbitrage is blocked by the Zillow platform.I don't even have to say "no thank you anymore."  

Now I’m sure BP has all the data and statistics to so h the know better than me what people like and want to hear.

There is quite a bit of data that home prices are starting to decline in many areas.

@Jay HinrichsI try to avoid historic districts at all costs.

I asked the question so I could make sure there weren't scenarios like this I wasn't considering.For context, I'm not talking about historical homes in places like Martha's Vineyard.

There's an aboundance of data to validate that case. 

Even though I skipped the tenant input and invitation screen, the system still sent out messages after I later entered email address in the tenant data profile.Do other property management platforms operate in autopilot?
