Most markets the physical vacancy is 5-10%, good chance you can find it by googling and seeing what the average is.

There is going to be no new builds (for single family homes) at the starter home or middle class level. 

Most of my guests book well in advance because they are mostly extended families and need to coordinate vacation times, so they're not as worried about last minute accommodations. 

- Are there specific aspects of STR market analysis that you find lacking in current resources?

After paying closing costs, title fees, appraisal, origination, underwriting, processing, legal and other fees, the typical refinance costs about 1.75 - 2.5% of the loan amount just in closing costs (obviously before people yell at me, this varies drastically by state, but having done loans all over the country I find this to be a pretty accurate estimate).  2) Keeping the average 2% cost in mind and the fact that people typically refinance when rates drop about .75% - 1% or more, I wanted to see if paying an extra point now when I was already paying all the closing costs to buy the rate down made sense. 1 point can get you between .5% - .625% off the rate depending on the days pricing and the coupon you are pricing.
