I have looked at AirDna but I’m not real comfortable with the data (especially the average daily rate) after looking on AirBnb directly and finding comparable properties (and their calendars) close to my properties.

Option 1:Purchase price $201K 2 bed/ 1 bath Conservative daily rate $200/night Conservative occupancy 35% (annually) Net cash flow monthly $250 (conservative)Actual estimate through AirDna $338/nightly and 49% annual occupancy.

Both directed at me, and directed at consumers.Loan originators saying "omg this post-2020 non-qm product lineup is super great, I made multiple dreams come true this month, and lots of people are happy with me right now (and do not hate me for very slooooowly over 75 days pulling their teeth without pain killers)!!!"

Hey Shawn, I talk to investors on a daily basis and most take a multi-channel approach to their marketing. 

Personally, I think the "trick" is to find a market that is worthwhile that not everyone has sunk their teeth into yet, which is what I am looking for myself, with minimal success so far.Regardless of the route you take, I wish you the best of luck on your REI journey!

Hi Tim,  BTW as an asside attorneys are not all "knowing" outside their daily grind topics. 

It was almost a daily occurrence for folks to stop by and ask about it being for rent or sale. 

I'm not saying you should or should not do this, but giving this as an example of the type of thing you might think through and try... say you observe that there's a particular property that has been on the rental market for a looong time even though it is a decent house on a decent street in a decent suburb of Cleveland (you can/should be scrolling around on Zillow and other sites to check out rental listings daily if you are taking this seriously).

You haven't said what your daily role is.

Scour the MLS daily for a 3-6 months so you can see what homes list and SELL for.
