I think its useful income tool, but not significant.

Then add other tools (niches) to the tool belt.

Understanding your top priorities can help in determining whether Stessa, Baselane, or another tool might best fit your needs.If you're comfortable with apartments.co for rent collection but want higher yields on your cash (this is me reading between the lines) you could have the transfers go into a high yield business account like BlueVine 1.5% interest or something like CapitalOne 3.9%.

You can use a tool like AirDNA to get estimates of property performance in your specific market and with your typical size and configuration of home.

As one might expect, there is a real tool here but it's more for niche problems than for widespread use.

There are some great tools out there always, but get connected and network as much as possible.

With all respect to AirDNA and the amazing data they provide for STR owners, their pricing tool is not on par with most tools available there. 

Use tools like the VA loan for house hacking and your Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) to cover living costs while building equity.

Posting on BP and using as a tool would be good though.

You can use this tool to estimate future property taxes: https://treas-secure.state.mi.us/ptestimator/ptestimator.asp
