In some markets, a two-story home and a one-story home can be comparable; in others, they’re not.

For those who invest in both, how does the day-to-day involvement of notes compare to managing rentals?

We gave all of our tenants 50% off rent in May to ease their burdens, hoping we could break even compared to normal profits for 2020. 

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

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

As a starting point, I built what I think of as a balanced lens — not optimized for max cash flow or pure appreciation, but something that tolerates tradeoffs and avoids extremes.The idea was to compare cities relative to one another, rather than arguing whether a single metric is “good” or “bad” in absolute terms.The dimensions I ended up looking at were things like:Home prices relative to national normsRent affordability (rent vs income)Employment diversityLiquidity indicators (days on market, inventory)Structural friction (e.g. landlord-friendly vs tenant-friendly states)Everything is scored relative to the set of cities being compared, and then stack-ranked.

We're seeing that reckoning begin now. 

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.

I'd really value feedback from folks who are actively operating in the same market.Would love to meet up and compare notes - I'll DM you to coordinate.

Youre best bet is to reach out to a reputable lender outside of the builder and then compare what each are offering.
