the companies who have useful , relevant, and profitable data do 1 of 2 things with it... use it within their own business model, or sell it for a premium.   

I provide a service and a roof and that is why I have responsible tenants that I chose to have a professional relationship with.The place has lot of very desirable amenities and has a great location..He has been with me for 3 years and I have only raised rent $125 in all these years and last year there was no rate increase.However, things have changed.I have expenses, taxes and other costs that must be covered as otherwise I will be in negative..Also, there is a lot of demand.I sent a very nice letter to a tenant stating the data and a comparison rate with the market properties.In my market rental properties went up 124%.The hike is $400.Small apartments in my area go for the same as my discounted rate for him.But the place is spacious and is a townhouse.He is highly unhappy.He calls it is a money grab.He is saying that he is under duress if he decides to stay as summer is a busy season for him.Well, the contract ends end of summer and the rate increase letter went out prior to that.There is no rent control in my state.And in my state I do not even have to send rent increase letters.This tenant makes 300K in income.I have been nice responding to his texts but it makes me think if I actually want to keep dealing with him.He states that my property is not worth the increase.Well, my property is in such a location and  condition that it is difficult to find anything similar.It is also a business.Any one wants to share a relevant experience?

Old thread - always relevant question! 

I  noted my experience in a balanced fashion summarizing the bad experience but including positive feedback about the host and the property.I got a msg my public review was deleted because it "didn’t have enough relevant information to help the Airbnb community make informed booking decisions."

Whether the 3rd lien holder is lucky to get something or not, is not relevant at this part of the transaction".

If you're talking to an investor and all you can say it that you hvae a couple houses that you rent out that doesn't sound nearly as relevant as if you can say I've got experience in multifamily and want to grow the portfolio...Good hunting-

I'm happy to point you to relevant resources!

Forget the "butcher block look" it's not relevant, what you want in a rental is practical.
