Good point Bruce.  Thank you!  

And sorry folks.  I see this topic has been covered in other forums so feel free to direct me elsewhere rather than responding here.

I'm trying to estimate airbnb revenue for a bunch of properties in the Orlando area.  I've used AirDNA but I seem to have hit my limit.  I've also used Awning but the data seems to change so I'm wondering if there is a tool that is accurate and reliable.  I am also trying to collect as much as I can from the sellers but not everyone has great data which is why I'm trying to supplement with an online tool.

Where does the data come from when using AirDNA and Awning.  Are they pulling it directly from the airbnb site?  How reliable are these tools?

I'm willing to even pay for a subscription but AirDNA is pretty pricey. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

Boo!  No worries.  I found another calculator that seems to owrk pretty well.  

www.Awning.com

I've been using the BP Airbnb calculator (AirDNA) to analysis properties and it told me today that i had reached the maximum number of  free rentalizer searches.  WHAT???  I though my membership covered this?

Actually in the example above AirDNA does NOT include the cleaning fees. This is a screen shot from an analysis I'm doing on a property. It fills in airbnb lodging taxes and property tax. You then need to provide Mortgage, HOA, etc. basically everything that is left bank where applicable. But my question is more about how it's determining the occupancy rates and yearly gross income. Based on others experrience, how accurate is it do we think?

I know that the calculator is using aridna to do its calculations but is it accurate?  I'm having trouble finding any single family homes that cash flow sufficiently in the Kissimmee/Davenport FL areas just by using the basic monthly expenses.  Or, is 1k per month about what i should be expecting.  This includes 20% Airbnb fees, lodging and property taxes.  I could likely remove the lodging tax since that can be passed onto the renters.

Suggestions?  

OK perfect, im already using AIRDNA for other things like estimating STR cash flows so im familiar with the tool. Maybe Im not getting the research piece because Im not a subscriber. Ill check out these other sites as well.

Thank you Mike!

Growth rates, STR rental prices, Appreciation by town or city. Basically, anything that will help me analyze where I should be considering STR purchases. Im currently looking in Orlando but there is soo much there right now that the comptetion is likely pretty stiff.

Im sorry if this topic has been covered but im looking for the best tool for researching markets.  Feel free to point me to a thread that's already in progress.

Hi Folks,

I'm new to real estate investing and would love to partner with some people in the MA, NH, ME or even FL areas.  I've been in the IT industry for just under 30 years and due to a layoff I am persuing this as a new full time career.
