What kind of market are you on?

If the market moves against you, it takes too much capital to fix it.Contrast that to this scenario:  let’s say that the acquisition loan was 60% LTV originally, and after a market drop of 30% the loan is now 85%.  

The Cleveland market would allow you to hit those numbers easily.

Even with 200 STRs it isn't a broad enough cross section to assume the changes.You would need to have millions of data points to show the trend IMHO. 

The purpose of marketing is to attract an in-person showing.

Understanding STR regulations in a market is an essential "must do" when it comes to evaluating a short term rental.

I would never let a client purchase in certain areas of my local market....

AI tip 2: a friend of mine wrote an app (beta) for landlords to market themselves on a regular basis by soliciting reviews from tenants.

Is there other market wide metrics that apply here? 

The "best market" is less about the market per se and more about the deal you're able to find in my opinion.
