What is a comparable rental property?

The answer
A comparable property competes for a similar guest and stay. Match location, capacity, bedrooms, bathrooms, amenities, quality, and operating availability as closely as possible. A large waterfront home is usually a weak comparison for a small inland apartment.
Document differences rather than averaging unlike properties indiscriminately. The goal is to understand substitutes guests actually consider, not collect the most impressive revenue figures.
This answer is general education. Apply it to the property's actual location, agreements, and circumstances. Where a decision requires professional advice, use a qualified adviser.
