What we compare first
We compare peak revenue, the depth of the trough, the top bedroom bucket, and the rule that can break the file first.
What happens next
Once a market survives this first pass, we move to its revenue page and diligence page before we talk timing with your CPA.
Educational only. Revenue files show historical Airbnb revenue patterns, not future performance. Tax outcomes, permit status, occupancy, and depreciation treatment must be confirmed with your CPA and local counsel before you buy.
