It could be a huge weight lifted off your shoulders as it can save you time and your listing will be exposed to all agents on the local MLS.

That book is worth its weight in gold when it comes to identifying talented people to help support your investing business.

As has been said, every investor has their own objectives for which one of these metrics might carry more weight than another.

That said, I would not give any weight to what the listing agent is telling you, hopefully you are working with an experienced agent who can help you navigate the market and help analyze this deal with you.Do your due diligence and make sure it is going to be a great opportunity for you in the long term...Best of luck!

AirBnb has yet to say what weight this standard will carry and I highly doubt the majority of owners in beach towns will agree to giving away half of their summers just so AirBnb can look like a “good guy.”
