But for those listed on other sites as well as Airbnb and VRBO it can be a little off.

Can you tell me how/where to get the free account because when I went to their site, I only see that there's a free trial for 15 days and then after the trial, the least costly account is their Starter Package which is  $10 / user / month (billed annually), or $12 / user / monthly. 

If you served you can go into the VA.gov site and look for your COE and/or apply. 

I would check out an STR data site like AirDNA, Mashvisor, Rabbu, etc., to get more insights.

First thank you for your service, I have family in the Navy & understand the sacrifice, so thank you for serving in the military!

I understand this can vary by market but this number has served me well.
