As you know, the airport’s land is typically government owned and leased out to build individual box hangars and T-hangars which are then rented, leased or sold to individual plane owners.  

Do you do any investing in raw land that is sub dividable? 

Ask for a comparison based on the current coverage and also any recommendations for better coverage. 

If I'm in your shoes, I recommend chatting with some local investors (attend a few meetups) to get a good sense of whats possible and not based on others that have a similar W2 scenario as yours. 

We take this to mean (based on 100s of real tax court cases) any activities integral to the business of running a rental.

Then negotiate based on that.

Without having MLS access it's more difficult, but can be done :) I would not go in with numbers based solely on hopeful STR analytics.
