I am now working as an engineer in the Twin Cities, but have plans of moving to Austin, TX with my wife to house-hack and work in the more plentiful tech market over there. 

I love algorithm based cost seg studies.

One of the easiest things that you can do to "talk" to the algorithm is search your property and heart it. 

Instead, they’re relying heavily on algorithms to make underwriting and valuation decisions.

Airbnb operates as an interest-based algorithm, rewarding listings that grab attention and keep potential guests clicking.

Most states require them to produce a report with that data to give to the client.So why is having an algorithm look at the rental data illegal, but an individual person look at the data not?

I would like to do some research on other rental properties before I set my priceComputer algorithms are good for studying a general market, maybe even a neighborhood, but they are terrible for evaluating a specific rental.

I would only add these two: FIRST - people constantly ask which algorithm to use to get their prices set.

Next time I'll start with the engineer.  

Make sure to put Alt Text on each photo you have uploaded so Airbnb's algorithm will list you in as many categories as possible.
