Some metrics I'd look at are nightly rates, cash on cash return, what type of tenant will I be renting to (nurses, wedding parties, and so on) to name a few.

You multiply that with your tax rate to see your tax savings.  

or pay points for lower rate but wait for longer to refi?

I don't see the point to get 20k off for 50k worth of work, so we switched to mve in ready properties and just let appreciation do the heavy lifting. 2024 looks like it might bring some change: average days on market are currently at 26 (from 5 most of last summer) and listings that go under contract on the first weekend dropped from 56% last year this time to 25% now. 

Comes down to price/comfort, is the going rate to have everything done for you whether it be menial or not 5-6% of the transaction?

I am 15 minutes from Disney, with normal traffic, and have a nice place with full 5 star ratings and we're just battling the bottom feeders here all day long. 

Maybe from an asset based lender, or a private lender, just recognize the rates will be a lot higher.

Try to go for cap rates lightly better than market, but not much better as had bad experience with super high yielding props.  

After a few price drops, we had it under contract.

I have done a few BRRRR's and can tell you the interest rates have sure made the strategy very difficult to cash flow.
