Good word @Bruce WoodruffThere is also a site that is similar to AIRDNA with a free version called "awning".

I probably have a promo code I could give you if the BP one isn't good anymore but I used the free version for quite a while with success.It's also pretty decent at pushing listings out to some of the major rental sites.

At the core of the OPs conversation what were really talking about is building a DIY version of VRBO/ABB.

It's a new version of a toilet created by Niagara.

and I got very familiar with my PV function on my RE calculator until you run the PV you would be surprised .for instance a 30 month Zero interest fully amortized note has he same cash value day one as a 15% 7 year note.. so in the day were we did land sales with seller carry back and our note version of BRRRR  we always looked at what our note buyers wanted for a return then manipulated the terms to meet the note buyers goals..   

We use paynearme but through our management software (appfolio) and I am not sure if they offer a stand alone version.

I wonder aloud if this is their version of "compensation." 

Short version: I'm a teacher, just moved from CA to NC. 

We also learned through out this winter that every time they changed anything with HVAC they left the old versions, and we have old school heating which we would like to update by next winter.

I have the paid version.
