My favorite way is is simply using Pricelabs using a comp set, OR using Airbnb itself to see what your direct competition is.

Real estate's "gross rent multiplier" is Wall Street's "sales to revenue",  "cap rate" is roughly "P/E ratio".When evaluating markets and investments I tend to start with GRM (or lazily the 1% rule), then attempt to return a cap rate based on assumptions about costs, then I work my way to multiple years of projections (assumptions about inflation, amortization, tax benefits, etc), and if I am partnering with one of my smart friends I have to pull up an IRR (internal rate of return).I also look at regional employment levels, median income to rent ratio in the zip code etc.

A buddy of mine talked to his tax guy who told him these “Distributions” aren’t currently taxable right now and simply adjust the basis downwards (almost like a return of principal), but when the principal actually DOES get returned (generally about 5 years out in this case), that the difference between the amount returned and this downward adjusted basis is taxable at capital gains rates - if held longer than 1 year, generally 15% tax.  

There are many fraud attempts on rentals on Facebook marketplace and through various Facebook groups.

But I am sure you have learned a lot from your first two attempts. 

While I usually think people have the best intentions, as someone working with you for the first time, it is truly hard not to have the thought cross my mind that the pro forma provided by Jennifer Lucero was inflated by Southern Impression Homes simply to make the sale.
