I'm looking to buy a STR/vacation home around Destin/30a. Has anyone had experience with using Rabbu?
what was your experience? Do the numbers work on there site? 

I Have 100K to put down. Any advice would be appreciated.

I used to use Rabbu but eventually transitioned to Airdna. Over time, I lost interest in Rabbu. Honestly, I recommend running your own comps instead of relying too heavily on these platforms. While they can give you a general idea, your short-term rental's actual performance will largely depend on the amenities you offer and how well you market the property. For instance, Airdna estimated $45K in revenue for one of my cottages, but I ended up earning $80K last year after adding a hot tub. It really comes down to the value you create and how effectively you promote it.
