But I'm trying to see how this will work without someone physically verifying that:There is actually a house at the site and not a burned out hullRepairs are not unusually high.I can see the algorithm gurus in silicon valley being pretty good with standard homes but it's the outliers that could kill them. 

The algorithm has lots of factors including time taken into it . . . that said, there are some issues which we hope to update in the coming weeks to improve how the score works.  

I'd like some feedback here. . . we made some changes to our search algorithm and it looks like we're getting better results now.Additionally, we've added Jeff's suggestion to allow you to sort results by the number of replies.

The credit algorithm is not disclosed by credit agencies but has general guidelines.Over 75% usage of available balance will hurt your score.50% usage is not a negative or positive but a neutral in the scoring system.

@Michael ReachLook Not everything is going to fit into a calculation or algorithm.

Penalties are already steep with loss of algorithms.

Definitely do not use apps for this...they are using computer algorithms that are usually wrong - get the real numbers if you're serious about this.Use any good CPA for your taxes, have a meeting before you get started so you can keep your books correctly, etc....

Doing some of these things could help trigger some of Airbnb's algorithm and push you listing up to the top to get some more view.On the other hand, I have heard from many newer guests that their first month or 2 was slammed then dead which makes me to believe that airbnb will favor you for a month or two to hook you and get your bough it. 

Thus our data was skewed very high compared to realistic nightly rates.Your best bet is to use AirDNA or other algorithms as a base but verify with direct looks at VRBO and AirBNB listings.

I think over time the ol' Zillow algorithm will get better and better but it will never be able to assess if your property has foundation issues, mold, has flooded in the past, etc.
