To overcome these, investors should focus on smaller properties, value-add opportunities, expand into secondary markets, leverage creative financing, partner for scale, monitor development trends, network aggressively, and use market data tools for tailored advice.

That’s not an opinion—it’s backed by data.

@Bracken Bjorn The answer is in the local data...and the data might look differently to you than someone else...it's really about your goals, tolerance for risk, available resources, and personal preference...

Quote from @Harry Grewal: Henry I would love to learn more about what to look for in terms of nastiest property have you driven class C self storage?

@Hamed RahimiThere are no mapping programs to transfer data.

Based on the data I was seeing in Airbnb, I can tell that the property was well located because my views and favorites in the Airbnb were significantly higher than the other properties in the areas, especially after the number of reviews increased.

To CORRECTLY do Build-4-Rent there is never HOPE of appreciation, there is CERTAINTY, mathematical data and insight driven CERTAINTY, knowledge of the appreciation to come. 

Are the displayed data accurate?

So much so, that according to AirDNA data there are 4000+ properties on airbnb / vrbo in this destination, though the property that I am evaluating has been used as a primary residence and has no rental history.

I am just goal driven and want to give myself something to strive for.
