Test it on paper before swinging a hammer.

Note I am not talking everyone of a certain age demographics, but more than it was a decade ago.I'm not talking about history, this is current data.

If this place were nice, it would get $2200+/ Maybe, and I am not local, so I can only go by the data and could be wrong.

Keeping this apolitical, but also analyzing historical data could help investors. 

In Alabama, pair online with on-the-ground: pull niche lists from your county data (pre‑foreclosures, code violations, probate, tired landlords), then work them with a simple weekly rhythm: call, text, mail, and drive for dollars to verify distress.

If they aren't going to meet the 500 hour test, I have them also track everyone else's time in the activity.

Now we can record up to 6 months of data, although I prefer to only do 2 weeks.

If you assume that all the other agents are seeing the same data and you can justify a higher value, if you can offer the higher price that will help increase your odds.

I gave income data for both LTR and STR (airdna).
