What to look at first
Start with peak revenue, the slow season, the best bedroom mix, and the one rule that can break the deal.
What to do next
If a market still looks strong after this first pass, move to its revenue page and due-diligence page before you talk timing with your CPA.
Educational only. Vacation-rental revenue files show historical Airbnb booking patterns, not future performance. Tax outcomes, permit status, occupancy, and depreciation treatment must be confirmed with your CPA and local counsel before you buy.
