I remember when I was comparing tools. 

I stand corrected:)They do have an office in Metro Detroit and while we're far from perfect, we seem to get a lot of their unhappy previous clients.In our opinion, they built a system for Class A rentals - where tenants have 680+ credit scores and rarely have to be evicted or trash properties.They then tried to apply their processes to Class B & C rentals and that's when their service issues increased.All this caused them to recently significantly increase their Flat Fee pricing and monthly minimum charges.

If this is the case I think I understand everyone correctly.

I originate the AIO and it is a powerful tool in the right hands.  

Your mistakes, and the reason why you don't understand why there is a conflict, is because you don't understand the meaning behind these analysis tools. 

Be sure to check out the free tools BP provides to help analyze deals you may have and also market insights.

@Vanessa LuleEstimating Occupancy Rates: AirDNA is a great tool, but it can sometimes be hard to verify actual occupancy.Hidden Costs in Monthly Expenses: Besides rent, utilities, and cleaning supplies, don’t forget to budget for:- Maintenance and Repairs: Minor wear and tear costs add up, especially in short-term rentals.- Platform Fees: Airbnb and Vrbo charge around 3% per booking.- Furnishings and Decor: High-quality, durable items are worth the initial investment.- Insurance: Short-term rental insurance (beyond renters') can protect you from guest-related risks.- Licensing or Permits: Check if your area requires permits, as some cities have fees for short-term rental operators.Breakeven Analysis: To calculate your breakeven occupancy rate, add all monthly expenses (rent, utilities, cleaning, insurance, etc.).

Cost Segregation is a great tax planning tool.

The same is true for a house—placing a tax-advantaged asset into a tax-advantaged investing account cancels the tax advantages (or many of the immediate ones).Maybe @Michael Plaks or @Kaaren Hall can explain this better or correct my understanding here?

We had to pay for a 3rd party to review the appraisal and either agree or disagree that it was done correctly.
