I believe amenities and nicer fixtures brings in a nicer class of tenants and helps the units rent faster.

Amenities, nightly rates and occupancy.

But I've had a lot of issues with the accuracy of Zillow's estimate in terms of accuracy as it really isn't; in my opinion, structured to predict changes in rent over time or take into consideration any additional amenities or upgrades.

If I had to guess and don’t know your exact locations or amenities I would say your house can gross $30-40k a year.

And the amenities.

For those looking to add a small amenity to their STR, here is this!

While there are certainly some neighborhoods that offer more amenities or a higher standard of living, there aren't any areas I'd strongly advise against.

Look for areas with low vacancy rates, good schools, and proximity to amenities like shopping centers, parks, and public transportation.

The data collection websites like awning, can be unreliable and don't factor in the specific amenities/upsells that a specific rental has. 

@Orane JacobsWhen thinking about venturing into a new market for house hacking using a VA Loan, it's important to look at various factors like the cost of housing, how much demand there is for rentals, the job market, economic conditions, how fast the population is growing, what amenities are available, and the resources for managing properties.
