Turn on (only) one same watt incandescent bulb in each unit and see if the meters spin identical, or if one  is a little faster.Running the A/C?

Here is a scenario and questioning how I may project nightly rate and occupancy:I'm going to round up numbers to make it easy.House for sale that is 3/2 and is essentially identical to a local (1 mile away) high performing STR, same rooms, baths and beds and yard etc.The high performing STR has over 200 reviews and is 4.85 in AIRBNB.It is charging an average of $200 a night with dynamic pricing and looks like it is booked at about 80% occupancy.Assuming I buy the new place, fix it up and outfit it the same as the local STR, what % could I expect just starting out relative to an established STR in the same market (neighborhood)?

@Isaiah York - If you are in this to build a portfolio of rental properties, then make your life easier and come up with a standard "tenant proof" rehab template that is as identical as possible across ALL of your properties.

An IRA can be invested into a set of funds that is identical to that of a 401k.

------------------My response is below with question for you to follow-----------------Hi @[Identity Hid]- I so appreciate the response- I love a man who knows their numbers!

For AML requirements it's just required that basic (name, DOB, address, Tax ID Number) identity information is provided. 

., credit reports, id's, SS#, and important docs. on a safe place.)I won't recommend to asked them for credit card statement as this is very, very personal information that contains accounts # , and you do not want to hold that responsibility in case of a stolen identity.

All cabins are identical, except one has a walk-out basement.

But Bob knows it will cost him about $100,000 to get the property up and running just like his identical property. 

Savings to hold extra capital you don't want identity thieves having access to and because keeping huge piles of money in a checking account is just not wise, and the security deposit account.
