I have grown insanely skeptical of BP over the last 5 years, yet somehow I am trying the lead generation for both property management and now as a featured agent.

These are the top three features I always keep in mind when evaluating a potential property:1️⃣ Location Matters: Properties near attractions, with great walkability, or offering something unique—like a waterfront or mountain view—tend to perform better.

In part because the sink is under the window which to me seems like a natural spot for it. 

Baselane rolling out this feature was a game-changer!

After some research online, I am reading that the cost per square foot on a gut renovation of this nature in Stamford CT is anywhere from $150-$350, which is ultimately not very helpful, because at $150 per sq ft, this is a very appealing project with a total profit of ~$175K (46% ROI) and at $350 per sq ft, it very much isn't, because it would be a net loss of 83K (haha).QUESTIONS:What can I do refine my estimate a bit given that I am not allowed to a formal inspection on the property? 

I believe the competitors are more expensive with unnecessary features.

If the search produces a sea of natural earth tone pics, the one that stands out has a splash of color.

They even added a small “welcome basket” with loccal treats, and guests loved the personal touch.. it became one of their most mentioned features in reviews!

What I do not control is the natural level of rents in any given market at any given time. 

I recommend homing in on what MOST vacationers are looking for in a specific market and try to find properties that have natural features/amenities that are scarce.
