I was looking into NYC and the problem is twofold there: tenant laws are already quite in favor of the tenant and when I was looking, the one-bedroom and studios were already back to pre-pandemic or higher prices.

@Phil Wells - I take your point on future pandemics.

So while many cities are implementing similar moratoriums on evictions, this announcement from Trump will likely have little/no effect on us landlords.Here’s another story on it with some more detailed info: Business Insider: HUD is suspending evictions and foreclosures for people living on its properties amid the coronavirus pandemic

You're protected from any other pandemics that decide to happen - during COVID everyone left the cities for these areas outside of town4.

Be aware that Illinois had the most population loss during the pandemic and has some of the fastest growing expenses in the country. 

Here in stodgy New England local STR restrictions are spreading like a virus from town to town… just at the very point where the STR gold rush is already yesterday’s news and some investors are starting to realize that 2020-2021 were market anomalies created by a global pandemic that altered how and where people traveled/stayed.

For example, it's possible that the effects of Covid are severe in a particular Geo/neighborhood that pre-pandemic that prior would have scored very high using his method. 

Graffiti has increased substantially since the pandemic too.On a side note, I would be curious to learn more about your STR modeling too — I have been looking for places across the state, including Seattle, but the math just doesn’t pencil for me.

I'm interested to see what effect the current pandemic / economic climate has on real estate values.

Once the pandemic hit, everything changed.
