Hello,Can anyone help with locating A, B, C, and D areas in Dallas and Ft.

If you go into A/B Class the rents are going to be too high to justify doing section 8, meaning market rents are higher than Section 8 is able to pay.If you go down to D Class areas you're going to attract terrible tenants and it will be a nightmare. 

Use tools like:Airbnb Analytics: Monitor impressions, clicks, and overall CTR.IntelliHost: Analyze your listing for category placement and CTR improvements.RankBreeze: Track your listing's performance and ranking changes.You can also A/B test your photos by rotating lead images or running Meta Ads (Facebook/Instagram) or Google Ads to measure which photo drives the most engagement.The Airbnb algorithm is continuously evolving and every host should pay attention as new features are rolled out. 

I think it's the best way to A/B test the potential.

Most think they invest in a B, but it is really below median, so a C plus or even C minus.If you want to know if your neighborhood is slipping, track the median price of that municipality/neighborhood against the median price of the metro area or State if you want to Zoom out.Here is an example: Wauwatosa (blue) has been outperforming Milwaukee County, Wisconsin and the US.

Hey Andrea, for STR you're definitely going to want to look into A/B class areas.

A B class rental here is probably different than a B class rental in your area as is the profile of the tenant that occupies it.
