Every market is different but check your areas electrical rate history.

., as the average effective property tax rate in the Lone Star State is 1.60%.

We have less than 1% eviction rate and 99% of rents collected (on tenants we've placed). 

That's unconscionable.I will note that last night, after I was able to plead my case with customer service via chat and get most (but not all, yet) of my money out via increased ACH limits, they sent out an email saying that they are breaking up with Blue Ridge bank and moving to a new banking partner that will offer checks and match the interest rate.

Interest rates make it harder! 

But, these properties are living, breathing and moving things that are all exactly the same, so you should just use your standard assumptions about payment and vacancy rates.

For the market to be healthy I think that rates have to remain like this for at least a couple of years...Changes in rates affect the market so much making the industry too volatile.

For example, investing on the south shore may offer affordable property prices, but it may also come with high crime rates and a less stable environment.

Then look at occupancy and nightly rate.

@Liran AferganWe do medium-term rentals in our own rentals in Colorado Springs and Denver (and work with a lot of investors doing mid-term rentals), and the rental rates are more like 1.3-1.5x that of long-term rents.
