Should I put my trust in sophisticated tools like Air-DNA, or keep it simple with Excel and Airbnb data? 

Primary residence’s can still air bnb but this property will now be non-owner occupied. 

I’m active duty Air Force with less than 12 months before retirement!

Hi, I am a realtor here in Cleveland and recently started working with a client looking for Air bnbs.

Hey everyone, I know having central air for rental properties over window units can make things a lot easier and beneficial.

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: It's not just about saving money IMHO...it's also about getting out from under their (Air and VRBO) control, regulations, cumbersome and guest friendly customer service et al... 

I know of a few STRs in the area that are rented during events but vacant the rest of the year yet Air DNA says we could have 75% occupancy year round . . . 

If he does a mediocre job and makes $83k as Air DNA projected, he will barely break even, but if he believes in himself and is willing to put the money where his mouth is, he can improve the performance and maybe make $93k or $103k gross. 

Air DNA I am hearing is the most accurate but curious if theres a way to check this without a systems monthly payment.Also, any realtors in the Highlands, NC or Hilton Head Island area that specialize in off market deals or STR would be super helpful~!

As someone above had mentioned you have to be weary of the HOA in any given building and what the implications are for you renting out that condo or short term (Air Bnb) when you decide to move out, pending you didn't want to sell!
