My only comment would be the STR market is saturated!

Instead of spending your time analyzing comps in an area already saturated with investors, I would figure out what makes that area attractive.  

(if you have areas I should look into with approx rents please let me know).I hear that the dallas area is over saturated with investors but I assume i should still be able to find good deals.

Ive got one...i am paying my mortgage every month...anyone else financed via sub prime? I am supposing that many here do...due to self employment, etc...

The Columbus STR market was getting saturated, and then COVID happened.

It does not matter how saturated the market is, if the deal makes sense for you to buy, then buy it.

I constantly crunch the numbers almost monthly to see how much money I am making when including the amazing increase in the property's value each time I raise the rent and I do my math over and over so that I am excited and I can do the math in my head.So, when the tenant spit in my face my mathematical mind went into overdrive and this irate tenants idiotic move that resulted in an eviction just earned me a big fat paycheck.

Probably Iowa area as a preference, as they don't block muni networks, so really small cities there can build out fat pipes to the internet to attract telecommuters that need lots of bandwidth, but want small town population density, and short drive to 3 larger cities if you want to still have the occasional city experiences.

We did expand out of state due to the market saturation in the area.

Others go to these gurus that are pushing out thousands of unskilled people on the streets that are just saturating that game with pandemonium.
