I'm considering buying a place expressly to rent it out using Airbnb (and their competitors), and the plan would be to key the lock with a smartphone that a cleaning person could use to enter at certain times, and to have defined checkin and checkout times for guests.

When I sold very large computers for a Fortune 200 company, my NDA didn't allow me to work for a competitor for two years.

I would compare your property by bedroom, size, amenities, etc. to see your nightly rate and compare how much you could make based on competitors average times booked.

I had a landlord/owner that signed up sight unseen coming from a local competitor.

I gave no idea why people send out junk when they stand head above their competitors with better marketing.

My sheet will sort of force you to do some research and input competitors' revenues.

We offer multiple services that our competitors do not.

I imagine a case when I have some competitors who bought theirs at a discounted price or they could just have a much cheaper property.

I try not to reduce my pricing too drastically, even with saturation from competitors.

Even worse, lots of competitors are true vacation rental investors whose motivation is offsetting their regular travel expenses with some additional income.
