Of course, I can try and bring some value to the table (still working on it haha).I've tried Propstream and found that it's a decent tool to search for markets, but not as helpful when measuring ARV's.

Good luck on your search!

you can open it on excel, numbers, or google spreadsheets.

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

@David Dachtera  If you haven't heard the story of Colonel Sanders and how he got into KFC, you ought to google it. 

Most Buyers don't even know that there is a public access portal to search local listings.

We had a shared Google drive account with all other homeowners information uploaded into it.

I would pick a major tourist destination where it wasn't saturated with STR's already.That would take some research but you could google top vacation destinations and find a place you would go on vacation.
