I'm looking for case studies.

They don't understand how to price effectively, study the market, set boundaries with tenants, establish policies and procedures, communicate, and dozens of other things.

What I personally do is I will hire a local Civil engineer who has done subdivisions in the jurisdiction and I will pay them up front for a detailed feasibility study.

For instance:If your area has many corporate offices or conference centers, you're likely to attract business travelers.Family-friendly suburbs with parks and schools often attract families.Downtown locations near nightlife are popular for groups and parties.Review Competitor ListingsSearch for successful Airbnb listings in your area and study their target audience based on:The language in their descriptions.Their reviews (guests often reveal the purpose of their stay).The amenities they offer (e.g., desks and Wi-Fi for professionals, cribs and baby gates for families).Evaluate Your Own SpaceYour property’s layout, amenities, and location may naturally cater to a specific audience.A cozy 1-bedroom apartment downtown might be ideal for professionals or couples.A 3-bedroom house with a yard might appeal more to families.Proximity to nightlife might cater to party groups.Experiment and AdjustIf you're unsure, start broad and monitor who books your property.

Quote from @Aaron Zimmerman: I would look for other ways to legally reduce income such as cost segregation studies.

Studies show good staging does have an impact on your sale.

Perhaps do a case study with a hypothetical deal you think is typical for what you are looking at and compare it to the alternative investments you might use and their expected returns.

Multiple investors with decades of experience, some GP, some LP, some skeptics about the entire business in general sense and some bulls who have gotten rich from investing have all chimed in on this you got links to specific case studies from Brian Burke, a seasoned syndicator, a guy check from Melanie p, who makes it a part time job taking the trash out and exposing the shenanigans of one syndicator after another.Greg Scott has an excellent reputation on these forums, and provides a counterpoint to Melanie’s skepticism.

If you’re placing a new property into service, you can discuss cost segregation studies.

Don't forget cost segregation studies as well.
