Potentially a mix of the data scraping taking into account blocked days on the calendar as true occupancy, and factoring fees as part of the ADR (average daily rate) I would say they have shown a material miss when it comes to data for properties that I had managed in the past.

Today I’m debating on to sell or keep this renta property and one of the factors is comparing my current cash flow to potential cash flow .

The other piece to factor is the amount of time that it takes to secure a HELOC which is averaging anywhere from 3-6 monhts (I'm currently nearly three months into a HELOC application for my rental).

Your lender is required to give you an estimated number.For the sole purpose of dissecting comparables, I mainly look for different factors such as square footage, number of beds/baths, location, distance from subject property, etc.

How you talk to people has a direct result on influencing them.

But the biggest factors are more likely that the cost of living in cities like Seattle has exploded.

that may factor in.I forgot to mention in my earlier post, if there is a chance that the building codes/zoning laws in the locations have changed you should discuss Ordinance & Law coverage with the agents to cover the additional costs to rebuild if the changes require it.

Saying 'what if', dreaming, taking risks, and actually looking for shortcuts / leverage is actually a big factor to what's made me successful. 

There are other factors that go into a decision to go outside your market as well, such as market cycle, political climate, taxes, etc.I used to own in the Bay Area and sold off my property due to the high taxes and opportunity for better returns elsewhere.Best of luck!

This is due to a couple factors:1.
