Too many variables on actual cost (unless you are doing very similar units in a very similar market).....and I've seen quite wide ranges on some lifespan numbers too, but you can get rough ideas on how long a roof should last on average...an appliance.....re-paint....carpet etc.....So I would use the % as a good start and you can always get more detailed analysis IF it passes the first analysis

And our snow season in NC is variable - if long-term trends are an indication, it's declining as the region warms in winter.

There's no way to prove that an STR will lower property values by itself, there are too many variables that contribute to the increases or decreases of property values.

Lets define what is known variable first:- Q1 2023 we will have the highest FFR- Q2 2023 FFR is following Q1 2023 FFR- Q4 2023, inflation is hopefully going to be 5%, this is per Fed data/analysis - rent growth is reducing now but at some point it will be flat and rebound.Question:- it seems buying in Q1 or Q2 2023 could be fantastic opportunity to buy real estate- what I do not understand is, at which cycle approx. rent is going to increase I have more data now that at which CRE project is going to collapse (DSCR < 1.0), makes me wonder, what's the trajectory of rental growthif some sector within CRE collapsing.  

Even if we knew that, we wouldn’t be able to guess the lending institutions appetite for lending even more money.We also can’t predict this Federal Reserve, the governments ability to raise debt ceilings and fiscally stimulate the economy, or a miriad of other variables.
