Aside from the standard BR/BA count and square footage, I always focus heavily on the listing pictures for any comps I pull in my area - finding a comp that's as close to your property's condition and finishes will give you the best apples-to-apples comparison possible.I also wanted to second @Tim Swierczek's input: nobody in Minnesota likes moving in the middle of winter.  

FYI - When I appled for a City STR permit, the inspector that showed up was interested in only 2 things: Fire extinguishers on each floor with large signs, and working Smoke/CO2 detectors.I expected them to get upset over the old stairs (1940s) which were very narrow (29").

Local, apple, Cuban and praying hand bananas.  

You can't let one bad apple jade you and turn you off to real estate investing or a particular market, First of all, Morris Invest was never a turn key company.

I grew up in the family home 1/2 mile from the new apple headquarters and the main roads at the time Stevens Creek BLVD was still gravel in places..

The bigger companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc, use RMC's to handle their relocations and they are very very difficult to pierce.

Caused by the seller can still be attached to the property, the buyer doesn’t get to keep the sellers interest rate when they execute the lease option, they have to pay full closing costs and get the new rate, etc. so it’s apples to oranges compared to a subto structure). 

The top 5 names have a higher P/E actually-- Amazon at 48, Nvidia at 53, Apple is at 41, MSFT at 37.

(They have an app)Apple Pay?

But that is often an "apples to oranges" comparison unless you're going to live in the property/house hack.Got it.
