Just curious - what tool are you using to create these graphs and tables?

Tools like Rentometer and Roofstock can help with market analysis and property selection.Good luck!

The precise property forecast can vary depending on a lot of factors but the general demand is really what you should use the tool for to make your plans. 

all materials, all labor costs to others, Not you, utilities, interest payments, permits, licenses, auto/truck expenses, tools needed are all deductable. 

For payments, tools like Stripe, PayPal, or booking software like OwnerRez work well.Happy to connect if you’d like to chat more or need additional tips!

Has anyone used the DIY tool, and are there risks?

I'm a big fan of lakefront properties as vacation rentals, and the area these cabins are in is popular for tourists, so I felt confident in the deal.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Indy is a popular market.  

With all respect to AirDNA and the amazing data they provide for STR owners, their pricing tool is not on par with most tools available there. 

Quote from @Joy Daniels: As a short-term property manager I've seen how this industry changes so often—new guest trends, tech tools, and regulations seem to pop up all the time.
