If you would like to accurately predict your rental income, I can go into depth if you want to pm me.

Basically, I created a spreadsheet with all kinds of different categories. Location, rental type, bedrooms, baths, decor rating, tiers off the beach, amenities, wheelchair accessible, etc.

I then used vrbo to put together hundreds of comps in the areas we were looking. For each listing you can see how many weeks a year they are booking, what their rates are, fill out the different categories of the spreadsheet, and calculate an estimate for gross revenue. From there consider cost of ownership for different types of rental homes, as well as the potential for damages on lower end stuff and the amount of interaction you will have with renters for each style of rental.

This route is extremely accurate, and predicts exactly what to shop for to gain the best ROI.
