Hi Frank,

I'm trying to figure out where will ne a good location to start my first STR.

Once I'll know on how to find this specific area it will help me to kickstart my first STR business. I currently own only traditional rentals but I knotlw that STR it's a different ball game.

Do you have any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you Lucas. That's very helpful. I'm actually trying to understand on what type of information that Mashvisor or Airdna data should I rely on.. will appreciate if you can help me to figure that out.

@Jennifer Creager

Thank you for the tip Jennifer.

When you've done your research directly through Airbnb, it showed the occupancy rate for a specific area in Maui on the Airbnb website? Or you've just calculated the avarage charge per night and calculated it with the property cost and expenses ?

Hi everyone,

I'm investing and own a few traditional rental properties in PA. Recently I've started to look over the Airbnb / short term rental market which seems to me much more profitable.

I had a session with one of the CS representatives of Mashvisor, real estate analytics software, and everything looks good in terms of all the data that they provide, in order to make a wise decision on where to invest, occupancy rates, cash on cash forecast and more.

Mashvisor also have a traditional residential rental analytic data. When I checked their data for the traditional Rentals on the areas that I'm investing in, I've noticed that the information that they providing there not really related to the reality. I know exactly what are my expenses, profits, gross and net ROI's and it didn't match at all to the information that Mashvisor presenting for the properties in this area.

My bottom line question is, should I rely Mashvisor or any other real estate analytic software on making my investments and moves on the short term rental market ?

I will appreciate if people who own and does short term rentals to advise me on that.

Thanks in advance,

Liran
