Here’s a thought:Step back and evaluate which properties, if any, are truly worth keeping based on current performance and future potential.

I still use the checklists/grading system for staff evaluation.

Don't want to work a W2 forever.I haven't tried all of the platforms by any means but Gemini vs ChatGPT for example, I will ask them questions in regards to evaluating markets and if they don't like the idea (don't know where to look?)

If you don't know what it will rent for or how many days per month you expect it to rent, you can't even start to evaluate whether it would work as a short term rental.

If you find this is the case with a property you’re evaluating I would run away not walk as this can be a huge problem for future cash flow.

Any thoughts on how to choose - what metrics to evaluate, resources to read to help? 

I’m always looking to improve my process and would be happy to share some insights I’ve gathered on deal evaluation and contractor management.

Also, you can evaluate today's deal whereas you can only speculate what deal may be available in 10 years.

Also hoping it would help me evaluate properties better or gage compentency of construction crews i work with. 

Build a solid team and evaluate deals carefully using tools like BiggerPockets calculators to ensure strong cash flow and returns.Good luck!
