@Jorge Ydlibi one other resource to check out that wasn't previously recommended is Rabbu. They give you free access to comps near whatever address you input, and you can drill down based on amenities.

Thank you Jimmy that's a great tool to get as specific as possible with the comps in the areas i'm researching. I appreciate it, its just what I was looking for!

One thing to keep in mind is that Airbnb will give the first few bookings are big discount. We didn't get to see our best numbers until month 3.

That is good to know Nikki thank you very much for the heads up as I'll need to calculate that into my projections for any property I analyze.

Hey @Jorge Ydlibi!

When looking for properties will profit well using Airbnb or VRBO, I would search the desired areas you are interested in. Then check the areas to see their vacancy rates, and how occupied they are throughout the season on the calendars of Airbnb/VRBO. A good website I would recommend to figure out this information is Pricelabs or Airdna.

When you are looking for properties to rent out you must check the area's zoning rules to make sure that Short-term rentals are allowed and the rules of the area are not too restrictive for you.

Always happy to help!

Hello and thank you very much for the input ill do my best to familiarize myself with the two websites you mentioned asap so I can start comparing different areas' pros and cons and if STR makes sense in them. Thank you!

An easy and very effective method is to go to VRBO.com and review homes of comparable size and amenities in the area that you are interested in. Check not only the rates, but their calendars. High rates don't necessarily correspond to a busy calendar.

You can get a general idea in a few hours what the appropriate nightly rates would be. I would make a spreadsheet of different sizes of homes, as well as those with a differentiating amenity (water front, near resorts, golf course access, etc.).

That's some great advice Collin, thank you for taking the time to give me some feedback I highly appreciate it!

Good afternoon BP fam, I'm starting to consider Short term rentals as an investment vehicle for myself and was wondering what is the best way to determine the reservation amounts for an area? Like lets say I want to buy a condo in Miami, or wherever it may be and rent it out on Airbnb, what is the best method of research to know how much it can be rented out for? Do I use comps on other similar properties listed on Airbnb for rent? Does Airbnb provide any resources for hosts to come up with competitive but profitable prices? Is there anything I can do to research possible areas that would work? Basically where should I start?

Thanks in advance for any input!

@Henry Clark Thank you so much for the very detailed advice Henry! Im very grateful for it and for the time I know it took you to write all of that down. I’m glad you mention to start small and not get clobbered by major BRRRRs. Base hits will eventually lead to runs. Thank you!

@Nathan G. Thank you! I have been watching the youtube vids and I intend on doing exactly as you say on analyzing as many properties as I can find on websites like Zillow or Realtor.com. Thank you for your advice!
