It was trial by fire!

If we decide to do STR (I think we will trial it), some of the best performing 2BD Airbnbs have average gross incomes of ~$49k/Year (~$4k/month).IMO I think furnished rental house hacks have so much upside.Is anyone else out there combining house hacking with furnished rentals?

By trialing these softwares for a given region before committing to one you can make a direct comparison on data quality.If you are just starting out, then I'd recommend to go free first and extract leads directly from public and/or county websites.

I plan to sign up for a free trial on this platform: https://urlbox.com/screenshot-api After some reading about this, my idea is to: - check which companies are selling in my area and create a visual database of their listings (Zillow); - use automated screenshots for competitor analysis (locations, prices, open houses nearby); - track SERPs - track my progress in different queries to analyze the success of my campaigns;- possibly create visuals for social media/presentations As we all know, it's one thing to read that something is a good idea and another how it is implemented in practice.

Do a free trial to see if it works.

Remember that  3Million$ judgement for Hot Coffee trial against McDonalds?
