Yep, every deal needs heavy value add, complete re-tenanting or something else to make sense.

My approach is to take a few minutes per quarter and make sure it is accurate by manually checking my true competition and adjustmenting prices accordingly. 

The current way the studs are built is not up to code, so they have to rebuild the entire structure of the kitchen wall This is not uncommon especially when renovating an older home and when budgeting you should also carry a very heavy contingency for unknowns. 

Hey @Megan OConnor, I can't comment on the area specifically but it is doable.You need to search AirBNB and VRBO to get a look at the competition (don't forget to look at VRBO)You have to work into your plans the downturn during the off season.

Any tips for navigating the competition in such a hot market?
