I just posted in another forum you can get cash flow and appreciation in columbus and I posted a few charts that show appreciation in columbus vs Cleveland (actually a downtrend in the last bit) 

Even during the crazy pandemic year that saw other markets go up 15%, DC was steady at just above its average at 7%  4.99% is quite precise.

Here's H & R Block's flow chart for Airbnb/STR reporting: https://www.hrblock.com/tax-center/wp-content/uploads/2018/0...

Thanks Glen...looking at that chart it seems that the rate adjustments are the same for investment property and second home.

There are many neighborhoods in Houston that score in the 70s and up on AirDNA, so it is a good market, but you need to be precise about where you're looking.2 - the submarkets within houston that perform well for STR are nowhere near your price point. continue saving or choose a cheaper market. you're looking at the fourth largest city in the US, and the biggest city in the most moved-to state in the union.

Bush was in office, “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” was in theaters and C+C Music Factory was rocking the Billboard charts.”

It might not be as precise as your method, but it could give you a good starting point without the data headache.

Side note: I couldn't fit this into each chart's description but I would like to say 1) Many of highest ranking counties based on rent/purchase price (1% (or 2%) rule) are false positives because there is not enough demand; these would be low population/ frontier counties.

And if you look at charts, rates do not exclusively dictate the direction of prices, but they can effect the demand......And don't fixate on the last ~5 years and think those were typical, they're not, they were an anomaly based on many factors and not typical of market cycles or timing.

Both drywall and paint are very easy in theory/concept, but hard to get right if you don't have precise knowledge of the techniques.
