AirDNA Projections Inflated?

[Steve Miklashevskiy]

A question to those who use AirDNA to analyze revenue projections (Rentalizer feature in AirDNA) for short-term rentals, do you feel that the revenue projection numbers are inflated? If so, by how much, percentage-wise, in your experience? What other tools do you use in your analysis for short-term / vacation rentals?

I don’t think it’s that they’re inflated it’s just that they’re a bit all over the place. In my market their occupancy rates seem to be way too low. It’s a good tool but it can’t be your end game.

Enemy Method is the best option. It’s no different than checking out what your neighbors rent for on Zillow or Facebook for a LTR.
