That's actually one of my pieces of advice for you... learn how to do your own book keeping so you know your P&L in real time at all times. 8) Hard to say without knowing the value of the place, CC&Rs, as well as any HOA fees/dues. 

But I can tell you that on average over the past 3 months we have brought in around 8k and this month over 10k in airbnb bookings.  

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.

If you read Brian's informative book, you will learn that he finds integrity to be #1.

And here in Chicago I always check my favorite local homicide tracker whose name violates usage restrictions.Is there other favorite metrics out there that I am missing?

I'm doing tpc compliant texting to motivated sellers to book appointments. 

I'm currently reading David Greene's book on BRRRR and was curious about how you all go about planning or visualizing added rooms to potential purchases. 

Michael,   A good book to purchase is "Professional Real Estate Development: The ULI guide to Business.   

I will mention that a hot tub could really increase the frequency of bookings.
