One thing to keep in mind is that expenses and vacancy don't happen on a predictable basis.

Hey all, I was inquiring about the Tuscaloosa, Alabama Airbnb market and wanted to know what’s been somebody’s experience in that market especially during the football season?

They probably can't predict interest rates better than anyone else, but they may have other solutions. 

This might involve consulting with department heads or using predictive models.

I received mixed opinions. like area is expensive with lower returns and properties are also not appreciating whereas some people said its comparative better than south like Auburn, Puyallup with better schooling and lower crime rate.Could you please share your advice.Hi Pankaj, I'm pulling some median price point stats directly from the MLS for each of those cities over the past 10 years:Lake Stevens - 2013 - $229k2023 - $745kGrowth - $516k (225%)Auburn - 2013 - $219k2023 - $575kGrowth - $356k (163%)Puyallup - 2013 - $195k2023 - $527kGrowth - $332k (170%) Past results aren't always predictive of the future, but I would say Lake Stevens is the better investment option if you can afford to enter that market.

If it works as an LTR, the bank knows there's a safe, predictable stream of income from that property. 

Hey guys,Obviously there is no way to predict the future, but I'm assuming that there should be some online metric that shows predictions.

Is their prediction usually correct?

If not, there is a bit of fuzzy searching that will expand the filter parameters to try and get the minimum required number of comps to make a prediction & give you some results, but if you notice they are expanded much too far I would open up the radius & days back to try and get more representative results.The High, Mid, and Low market tiers are quantile groups based on the $/sf of every transaction that occurred during that Quarter.
