CapRate has it's limitations anyway, but to me it is a tool to compare big MF, office buildings, hotels, etc with different agents, sizes, costs, rents, tenant mix, etc when perhaps you 3 options. 

I think they can be a great tool however, with a lot more non-QM products emerging in the market, I've been using more "hybrid" products lately as the terms are usually a good bit better and not subject to change if market rents come in low, insurance rates come in higher than expected, etc.

Hey I was wondering if there’s any websites/ tools you all use when it comes to your market research, and your more in depth neighborhood research? 

You can also piece together a lot using tools like AirDNA, Rabbu, or even just pulling comps on Airbnb directly to get a sense of what properties are earning.If you decide to lean toward Destin or PCB, happy to share more on what’s working well right now and what to watch out for.

It is the most popular software in the industry, and most Tax Preparers are familiar with it, which makes tax season easier.However, many on the forums will advise against QBO.

We are doing discovery calls to identify what tools are used by investors to find rental properties to buy, esp in remote locations.

Could be a good idea to seek another research tool and compare and contrasts if the costs allow for it.

What calculation tools are in your analysis toolkit?

DSCR seems to be growing in popularity due to flexibility and less paperwork — but I’d love to hear if others have seen any drawbacks when scaling with DSCR.
