Where to get the most recent and accurate data for things like:Unemployment dataPopulation growthJob diversity and top employers in the areaVacancy rates (eg huduser.org)Property taxes and jnsurance costsI saw bp pro and reventure and a bunch of other websites provide some of this data, but i wonder how accurate and recent it is.

You could tell them to cancel the listing and you will find someone else to list it after a month not 4 months (the market take is subjective too, all dependent on what your house has compared to others, where it is located, the size of it, and so many other factors).

my experience has been (1) I can obtain the same rental rate for a 6 month lease that I can for a 60 day “stay” if FULLY furnished (2) some of these 6 month rental turn into 2 years or more.  

Because of where interest rates are at—and how slow everything is moving—we basically made a "take it or leave it" deal.

Especially when considering the tax implications, current interest rates, and if you don't have another purchase lined up.Happy to send you an analysis and proforma for your properties as they stand right now, kindly reach out anytime. 

Plus, there are upfront costs to consider, like furnishing your condo and any expenses tied to managing it as a rental.As for refinancing, it might not be the right time with interest rates where they are.

What about rate and term refinancing?

No - absolute max for DSCR is 85% LTV and that is extremely rare and typically not workable in this rate environment anyways.Standard/common max is 80% (acquisition and rate-term refinances) and 75% Cash-Out Refis

Rentals also build equity through tenant payments and appreciation, with profits taxed at lower long-term capital gains rates when sold.

I suggest keeping track of these key features which range from cap rate to, cash flow, ROI, and asset comparison.
