It's an area where some struggle (especially in the beginning), but it's certainly overcomeable - and it's something that can definitely get easier when you get more established, learn how to advertise effectively and build up a buyers list.To put it as simply as possible, I'd say it's ultimately a matter of:Buying the right properties in the first place.Offering a compelling price point (which usually isn't hard, if you buy it right).Compiling the information well (with good images and descriptions).Getting your listing in front of as many eyeballs as possible (and keeping it visible).If you're able to, provide the option for seller financing, so buyers have more ways to buy your property if they're unable to get the cash from another source.Does that make sense?

Below are some key metrics and the proforma I have compiled from a feasibility study and an STR report.

Kris Freeberg has compiled some fantastic (and free) notes.

The county doesn't compile lists, all they do is publish these notices.Hope that helps!

I again suggest going back and reading my actual words and statement's, detailing how the books are cooked, I never detailed illegal activity, I detailed an executive branch changing how data is compiled and calculated because they didn't like the result, so instead of changing input's, they changed the calculation models until results fit the desired narratives. 

Compile a punch list of any incomplete or unsatisfactory work, and ensure the contractor resolves all issues before making the final payment.Obtain and retain copies of all inspection reports and permits for your records.Collect warranties for any new appliances, systems, or major components that have been installed.Provide feedback to the contractor on their performance, which can be beneficial for future projects and maintaining a good relationship.

Four years ago we saw the writing on the wall on this so I started working with other cities in the area and compiling lists of where STR is legal (and there are plenty of spots to invest in Volusia county that should have great returns, you just have to know where). 

If you post that question over here, you will get several different answers and compile all that and do your own due diligence.   

How does everyone get accurate numbers when compiling this information?

I’m compiling a list of my repairs and a list of everything that needs to be done.
