I have never been able to utilize any DPA with any deal as of now, but it is fun to keep it as a possible tool for use in the right situation. 

A good place to start figuring out profit/cash flow is to search the forums for the 4 Square Analysis. 

Here’s how they approached it:1.Scraping Listings: They used web scraping tools like Beautiful Soup and GPT APIs to scan Airbnb for properties in their target areas.2.Image Analysis: They trained an AI model to analyse listing photos, identifying homes with solid potential (good structure, layout, location) that were undervalued due to low-quality photos.

Use tools like AirDNA to research how often properties are booked and consider seasonality so you can take full advantage of peak times.

Plus, it integrates seamlessly with accounting tools like QuickBooks, making bookkeeping much more straightforward.Whichever account you choose, look for one with no monthly fees, online banking, and features like automatic bill pay.

Quote from @Joy Daniels: As a short-term property manager I've seen how this industry changes so often—new guest trends, tech tools, and regulations seem to pop up all the time.

Reverse Mortgages (HECM or Home Equity Conversion Mortgage) can be a FANTASTIC tool! 

Any advice or tools you’d recommend would be really helpful!

•For example, a listing with three price drops and 180 days on the market would be weighted less than one with 30 contacts, no price drops, and a quick removal after 30 days.3.Open Data:•Provide direct access to each comp’s details: price history, leasing schedules, photos, and even links to the original listing sites—all without leaving the platform.These three issues have been my biggest frustrations with current tools, and I’m building this out for internal use in my market.My questions to you:•Is this something you would want to see in your market?

As a VA, you’d want to build on that by getting familiar with tools that real estate professionals use.
