Start by identifying the metropolitan statistical areas that have strong economic and demographic trends such as job growth, population growth and income growth.

Overall, the statistical data makes sense.

Statistically you are likely to get 39% more revenue when you use a STR property manager. 

The only exception for Milwaukee is that it didn't have that 5 to 10% job growth based on Bureau of Labor Statistics.   

Therefore, your above comment must apply to ALL sources of comp statistics, not just findcompsnow. 

While our numbers are statistically down 10% from last year, it is a market correction going back to 2018-19 numbers. 2021/22 was a boom, but Orlando doesn’t bust, it’s demand is global, and those who purchased in good STR resorts with lower 6+ bedrooms supply will continue to do well, as the Orlando market is proven to be profitable in any economy statistically for the last 40+ years. 

@David Cruice, looking at some multi family units in New Mexico, do you have a few tips to pass on to a new investor Possibly some Unknown’s that may come up or what are the most critical things to look for, what % does the city ratings/crime statistics have with determining the value of the investment?

At some point in the distant future the statistics may trend toward ownership and less rentals, but last I knew the trend was heading the opposite way.  

You can include some of the metropolitan statistical data in your market analysis.

No one has a crystal ball to predict the future, but you are able to use simple statistical probability knowing that markets always have been going up and down.
