Finally- my best performing STRs all have fun amenities- get a couple full size arcade games or set up a theater room with a projector and some big, cushy chairs.

Things like:Renovation costs adjusted for local contractor rates (not national averages).Neighborhood data that isn’t just demographics, but factors investors actually track — school rezoning, insurance costs, landlord/tenant laws, etc.Cash flow assumptions that can be tweaked for different investor profiles (flippers vs. buy-and-hold vs.

Your best approach is to show that the assessment isn’t supported by market data.

@Natalie BrownWelcome to finally jumping into the RE game.

🙌You’re totally right — tools like Qualtrics/SurveyMonkey and SEMrush/SpyFu are powerful, but I’ve mostly seen them used for marketing/consumer research rather than for real estate investing decisions.That’s what I keep bumping into: plenty of great general platforms, but nothing that brings together real estate–specific data points like:• Voucher demand or housing authority activity (for S8)• Days on market for rentals in a micro-neighborhood• Vacancy + “desirability” indicators (crime/schools)Out of curiosity — if there were a tool that gave you that kind of “plug in an address → get all the market intelligence” insight in one place, what data would be the most valuable for you personally?

Otherwise, market moves can change your final rate.Compare total costs, not just rate: Some lenders quote low upfront then add higher fees.

I finally evicted her and she had 2 Amazon packages at the house which was addressed to someone else. 

Spend a week or two creating a simple SOP — what lists to pull, when to call, what data to record, and how follow-ups work.

@Evan O'Brien I am answering this based just on data I saw online but if 9/65 units are in the market - that is a lot - has to be a reason.

Rents have also cooled off lately, which lines up with what I’ve been seeing out there.Feels like the market’s resetting as we head into the holidays—more inventory, slower activity, and buyers finally getting some more closing concessions.
