They give a general idea of where property lines are but are not useful for determining issues of just a few feet.

First, I want to address the question of rental arbitrage vs. buy and hold STRs:In my experience buying the real estate (even if it results in fewer units) is almost always better than rental arbitrage.

The extra insurances we need to hold, bonds, etc.

Lately, I've been contemplating the idea of venturing into the short-term rental market and I'm considering whether converting this property could be a good start.

You have a good idea BUT here in New York you have very slim pickings. 

But if you just want an idea of rents for a limited number of units, the free version may work for you.

I'm in research mode now to figure out if this is even a doable idea.

I tried calling in to discuss, but the hold time was very long and I had to drop.

Currently I like the idea of brrrr, but the idea of loans and debt still scare me though I’m not in a position to cover costs entirely on my own.
