Most states require them to produce a report with that data to give to the client.So why is having an algorithm look at the rental data illegal, but an individual person look at the data not?

Per trading desk they said "yeah, crazy right, a lot of people are gonna get caught sleeping on this one", as in when market has that cycle it will get "interesting" when the forced sells occur accelerating the drop, that those in the know have algorithms built and set to grab the bottom.

These platforms can show which amenities are most sought-after in my market, helping me make data-backed decisions.ROI can sometimes be intangible, but even amenities that don't immediately show a monetary return (like higher satisfaction) often lead to long-term benefits, such as more positive reviews and increased visibility on Airbnb’s algorithm 

Far more accurate than an algorithm.....

I love algorithm based cost seg studies.

I would like to do some research on other rental properties before I set my priceComputer algorithms are good for studying a general market, maybe even a neighborhood, but they are terrible for evaluating a specific rental.

Easy things, but they trigger the algorithm.  

That means their pricing tool is designed to price beneath the rest of the market, which drags the entire market down, especially when combined with their algorithm changes a couple years ago that made pricing (IE lower prices) the #1 factor in ranking.Even if you use an external pricing tool, it gets dragged down by the people using Airbnb's pricing. 

Make sure to put Alt Text on each photo you have uploaded so Airbnb's algorithm will list you in as many categories as possible. 

I would only add these two: FIRST - people constantly ask which algorithm to use to get their prices set.
