"free but old school way to determine occupancy rates"I use Airdna just for the overview and I have clients that pay, but when doing market research they still look at every competitor photo, every amenity, home features, reviews, and even the hosts profile before investing in a market, neighborhood, or community. 

I take my competitors leads away all-the-time.

Not only do they suck... do you know HOW many leads I get because my competitors do DMM and the receiver goes online to check out what this is about and you know what htey see online?

Not sure you're looking for a full blown platform, but RentRedi offers this service and I believe its competitors do as well.

My competitors do this and it makes sense to keep move-in simple and only worry about rent collection.

Sadly our PM company continues to take over properties from our turnkey competitors PMs solely around the issues they are having similar to yours. 

I don't know much about those guys  and I'm usually pretty aware  of who are competitors are . 

Is there a large pool of  competitor vanity homes sitting un-rented for $7,000 a month competing for that same renter pool.What is your appetite for risk right now: "Faint heart never won fair lady" or "pass on this".

Sarasota can be rough -- the county itself is 30 day minimum except on the barrier islands Siesta Key, Casey Key and Manasota Key.Orlando can be rough because there is so much competition -- you will need to stand head and shoulders above your competitors, which is hard when all the properties are the same purpose-built vacation homes. 

They can raise their price, or run to your competitor if your competitor is willing to spend more per lead.
