Recent insurance increases here on the Gulf coast and lack of appreciation compared to the average, combined with not being able to take depreciation really makes RE not that good of a deal (in this area, in my opinion).

A great place to start.It depends where are you looking for, rentometer and zillow are sort of accurate in areas with enough similar comparables, if that is not your case, you have to rely more on look property by property to see if those are similar than yours.As agents we have access to history so that sometimes helps, if you have one, I would say to rely on his/her data.Investing is a very analytic job so I always recommend to run your number even when you have someone that is helping you.

The more I dig in, the more I realize how much nuance there is in this asset class — and how little high‑quality information exists compared to multifamily, self‑storage, or MHPs.I’ve learned a lot from operators who are willing to share what’s worked (and what hasn’t), and I’d love to connect with more people who are actively running parks, developing them, or expanding portfolios.If you’re an RV park owner, operator, or someone who’s built one from scratch, I’d appreciate the chance to compare notes.

Often times these policies offer better coverage limits and protections at comparable cost to NFIP policies. 

Then eventually these great AirBnB's were a lot more upkeep, a much more active business than many people were expecting, then with the mix of market trends of lower occupancy during lower periods of travel crippled their ability to stay afloat for those just starting out compared to those that have been doing it for a while & have better quality residences at better prices.For Co-living, the property has to be worth while, the layout has to be setup good, the tenant pool may be a little more limited due to people having to rent with possible strangers, etc.

Happy to compare notes offline if you’re still exploring options.

This compares very similarly to the previous duplex analyzed 

There are other players in the game to compare with like Kenny Bedwell at STR Insights or Bill Faeth's coaching.

When I was looking for my first property, I found myself in the same boat — digging through new websites, chasing obscure metrics I thought I had to understand, comparing median income, school ratings, crime maps, appreciation charts, and everything else that seemed critical at the time.
