Uses big data to identify properties ……….has a subscription to Loopnet4.

Louisiana is also a very landlord friendly state and that doesn't hurt either.I have been looking at the rental data in New Orleans lately and it seems like there may be a surplus of rentals available, most likely due to the STR rules causing people to switch to regular long-term rentals.

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.

@Jeremy HartwigYou are missing a lot of important data, such as median income of the area, rent comps in the area, what current values are.You are buying on actuals, but in many markets that have low supply and have a lot of demand, it makes it difficult buy based on actuals.

Go to a local realtor next time the appeal process is open and ask them to do a CMA on your place and use that data for your evidence when appealing with the county.
