(You may also want to search google with the keyword BiggerPockets, the results algorithm on Google is better than the one here on the BP website...if that's their biggest flaw though then they're doing something very right in my opinion :-) ) If you can't find the answer to your specific question in the blog / forums than by all means post up your question for feedback. 

@Christian AllenBook a few Airbnb stays around your area get to know what they are doing to make there place special, talk to them about their numbers, most of them will be nice about it, make sure to disclose your visit purpose before booking their place so they don't report you to Airbnb, don't leave them bad reviews it's just not cool :) and ask them to leave you reviews because even reviews from hosts help boost you score on the Airbnb algorithm and it will help you when you start Good luck

Is it possible that they would overprice a vacation rental....i understand they use n algorithm but was wondering if there are other VRBO owners that can tell me if i have anything to worry about.Thanks , Steve

Like I have said many times before, their algorithm needs data points to be accurate.

Zillow and other sites are algorithm-based programs, and although many cherish this data-driven overview, real estate on a local level is always a person-based business. 

There are some sub maker keys and areas where it’s pretty close, say in relatively homogenous neighborhoods with lots of data points available, but in general there are far too many local market nuances and recent trends that the algorithm doesn’t capture.  

The algorithm used to determine which RE to refinance will include both its equity and the rate on its current loan. 

@Christopher KinnamanI have a degree in software development and wouldn't rely solely on algorithms to tell me the value of real estate unless the code could account for every minute detail and obsolescence, which is highly unlikely.

But we will see how this pans out, since they are limited to what markets this makes sense, and with price corrections happening faster than an algorithm can likely truly take into account, since they need recorded data to build out their pricing structures.Currently 21 analysts are reporting on ZG, per marketbeat.  11 are hold, 8 are buy and 2 are sell.  

I've found that most are great for data (just has an algorithm that pulls info from a title company or county records), but do actually generate leads.
