Your comment: " I will reserve judgement until I experience otherwise" Your ability to discern ethics is very close to the edge.

The fab is done in cheaper labor markets and a discerning eye can tell it is pre-fab (reflected in the price), but it is good enough for all but the highest class properties.I have units in a B+/A- area (Pt Loma) that I would use prefab granite counters (market rent $4.5k/month).

I certainly don't know and like all things it's best to use our discernment while trotting the web. 

I enjoy reading the different point of veiws and then discerning what information is best for my scenarios.

Just some thoughts:1 - This is a fiercely competitive area between other STR and hotels.2 - I would recommend working with a knowledgeable agent in the area as there are a lot of rules and laws.3 - I would recommend professional management; as it is competitive and you will have a slightly higher end/higher end rental with discerning guests.4 - ROI may be higher in areas further away (think Polk County/Legoland, Tampa (half way between Clearwater Beach and WDW) and New Smyrna area etc).5 - I highly recommend a pool home, preferrably heated.There are some others but those are top line thoughts. 

I think in the immediate area around TU, there should be no discernible difference in $/per room that you can get for rent especially if you are looking to market to college kids.

@Jonathan ShnoravorianI look at every location using the DISCERN method.

We're buying a second home, not just an AirBnb, so we're being more... discerning ... on the specific condo and the one we had our eye on was snatched up. 

I have developed a formula in order to discern the various alpha categories and it works every time: If the seller or agent tells you the property is a B, then you can be sure it is a C!

I realize there is a range, but am trying to discern what is most common and fair per industry standard.
