I have grown my AirBnb's into a handful Guest Favorites and rank in the top 5% and I'm always improving.

@Mike HernI bet you can go to your local grocery store and also find these types of deals like you can your favorite cereal.

Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

My overall favorite part is the the designers/owners Dave and Susan are always there to help or answer any questions. 

what are your favorite tools to discover and compare real estate markets?

We self-manage, and are 7 year superhosts on the Airbnb platform, and all 3 of our properties also received the "Guest Favorite Award" on Airbnb.  

I've tried about 5 different ones and Turbotenant is by far my favorite. 

As others have said, better photos are always worth the investment and definitely a lower cost than major rennovations.Another thing that I noticed was that your reviews are low - if you can get those up you can be listed as a "guest favorite" on airbnb and that helps you get to the first page when people search for matching criteria, rather than being buried 5+ pages in.

You are asking about markets where you can Buy, Rehab, Rent out, Refinance, and Repeat (BRRRR Method) where you can buy 70% of After Repair Value and under $150,000 with good cashflow.This is my favorite strategy as well.There are several markets in Michigan where you can do this but the market I prefer is Lansing, MI.It is the State capitol, there is always a lot of economic development as a result which creates jobs and demand for housing which keeps rents up and appreciation steady.To Your Success!
