Determine what direction rents are trending by unit type and whether or not there's any additional upside in rents.

Staying updated with county postings and owner trends helps a lot.

A few key things you’ll want to focus on are:RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) – the core metric for valuing operations.Occupancy trends and ADR (Average Daily Rate) – these drive your revenue projections.Expense ratio and management structure – smaller motels can run at 40–50% expenses, while flagged hotels can be much leaner with scale.CapEx and reposition potential – if it’s a rehab, understanding brand standards and conversion costs (for example, turning an independent motel into a soft-branded flag) can make or break the deal.My partner and I have underwritten several hotel/motel projects in the Los Angeles area, so I’m happy to share some insight into how we typically structure the analysis and what lenders look for in this space.

I’m trying to stay fully compliant, but the timeline and red tape are proving tricky.I have a fully furnished condo in downtown Atlanta—walking distance to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, State Farm Arena, and Centennial—and I’ve done my homework (AirDNA comps, local demand trends, etc.) to make sure the numbers make sense.

A trend that started in the 90s was showing kids disrespecting their parents.

@Stephen KunenI'll need to see the specs but fire-rated windows are typically either steel or aluminum.

if you don't meet current market trends/ competition on the MLS it could end up costing a lot more than the savings vs quartz. if it looks cheap there the alarm bells and over all impression set what a buyer is looking to pay they don't line item their price like we do.I flip 3-5 houses a year solo for the last 6 yrs.

If you’re new to commercial, partner with someone who does this weeklyEven just to evaluate it.One wrong zoning assumption can swing the deal by hundreds of thousands.Bottom lineThis isn’t a residential comp question, it’s a land and entitlement question.If the zoning or surrounding development trends support commercial or multifamily, this could be a strong off-market opportunity.

With median home values supporting affordability and projected appreciation rates aligning with national trends, the state offers opportunities for stable cash flow in single-family rentals, enhanced by low vacancy rates and investor-friendly dynamics.If you'd like to discuss further, we are happy to help.

.: @Alex Olsonyep. long + unreservedly positive = AII think we have seen enough of these “I’m thinking of investing out of state” threads by now to recognize the trend…The majority of replies will be people with something to sell: agents from the fly-over states, turnkey providers, property managers, etc.
