Critera for Good Market

• ☐ So when you are picking a market. Look for the following on AirDNA:
  • ☐ More than 200 listings
  • ☐ Rental Demand 70+
  • ☐ Grade B or higher
  • ☐ Make sure regulation good.

1. Regulations, permits, business licenses are actually a good thing
2. Cities that don’t require business license or permits are risky
3. Avoid Cities with restrictions including: primary residence, arbitrage restrictions, and minimum 30 days or more. Explanations!!!!
   1. if it needs to be your primary residence —> not going to be able to scale
   2. if you have arbitrage restrictions —> run into city trouble
   3. 30 days or more —> your going to LTR rights for tenants + also different audience MTR, Insurance agents, Furnished Finder + also mismatch with getting tenants.
