I will give you some of my highlights.People in Texas complain about their property taxes at 3% ours are about 4.5%.New York in general and Monroe county specifically are very tenant friendly.Depending on the town, the code inspectors/police can be quite anal.Since Covid and the 2020 protests we’ve seen an increase in crime in the city and therefore weakening demand in the city proper and increasing demand for the suburbs.Industry is well diversified—University of Rochester (medicine) L3Harris (defense) xerox (IT) and paychex (software/hr)) and relatively recession proof.Population growth is low and therefore appreciation (except the past 4 years) has been moderate as well.There aren’t many builders in the area so supply is relatively fixed.Home (and rent) prices are both affordable with homes typically being less than 1/3 median household income and rent being similarly affordable.For single family homes at 8% rent will cover piti with about 100$ to spare in the A areas.

What's the STR forecast for 2023?
24 May 2024 | 100 replies
The answer depends upon where the property is at (local regulations and political headwinds), interest rates, unemployment-employment, household debt levels and consumer confidence, cost of getting there (airfare, gasoline prices, etc), cost of running the STR etc.

She trapped us into signing the lease as 1) there were no reasonably priced properties to rent & 2) we were not planning on moving this fall, so no money saved, nor household packed.Her property needs new windows because they leak and we have had major water damage, bathroom vents to be installed & mold removal from said bathrooms.

I understand the significance of key metrics such as IRR and CoC in evaluating the potential of a deal, but the abundance of information out there is making it challenging to find a straightforward, user-friendly solution.What I seek is a singular, comprehensive tool—a master template, if you will—that I can consistently rely on from deal to deal.

While this affiliation might bring certain advantages like integration and streamlined services, it’s also worth noting that many tech entrants in the property management sphere sometimes miss the intricacies of real estate management, focusing heavily on financial aspects instead.If you're looking for alternatives, you might want to consider other established platforms that specialize in property management, like AppFolio or Buildium, which are paid services but widely recognized for their comprehensive features and security measures.
