Advice on negotiating price
I have finally put an offer on my first STR! It is a really sharp property in the Poconos. It should hit P10, I believe, definitely P25, with minor to zero changes. I looked comps in a 5 mile radius, as well as 2 mile radius. The lower revenue projection, (from 5 mile radius) gives me cash on CoC the first year over 25%! (P25: $423ADR/58%) --> 26.18% CoC (P10: $504/72%)---------> 51.40% CoC The 2 mile radius numbers are higher, but based on a smaller data set. In my non-AI attempt to estimate revenue (which determined pre-STRIQ), I used ($475/60%)--> 34.68% for my best case. So how do I determine my highest purchase price? Use P25 numbers and back calculate 10% or 15 % CoC?? Or may be my $475 ADR, which seems pretty realistic to me?

If it were me, I’d probably make my offer based on the P25 numbers since those are easier to support with data. Especially if you’re planning to invest additional money to get the property performing at a P10 level, I don’t think you should pay a P10 price today. They may negotiate higher, but you never know until you ask. At the end of the day, I’d just make sure the purchase price still allows the property’s projected annual gross revenue to be around 20% of what you paid for it. That gives you a much better chance of achieving the cash flow you’re targeting while leaving room for the improvements needed to reach P10 performance.

Fixes Needed, Pulling Comps in downtown Sevierville
There are Airbnb listings missing (and some outdated) in the area of this map when I search in the new website for comps.

Hi everyone! I’m Alexis—I live in Knoxville, TN, and my STRs are in Historic Downtown Sevierville in the Smoky Mountains. I’m currently in Stage 4 – Scaling (launch phase). I’ve been developing a five-suite boutique STR called Victoria House and am getting ready to open. My 90-day goal is to successfully launch, dial in operations and guest experience, and build a strong foundation for direct bookings and future growth. The biggest thing holding me back right now is making sure all the final details, systems, and processes are in place so everything runs smoothly once we open—there are a lot of moving pieces at this stage!

@Matt Sanderson I will add some photos! I will take some new updated photos today. There are a lot on the instagram account am I allowed to post that? I am using Federico Zimerman for my revenue management. I have 6 month agreement as I wanted to get a solid baseline prior to considering doing it myself.

Here is a before and after of the front of the building. We had to put a new roof on to support the floor plan changes. I don't have professional photos yet. But you can get a really good idea of what it will look like from the instagram page. https://www.instagram.com/victoriahousesevierville
