Short Term Rental Market analysis tools??

[Richard Lovering]

Hey BP folks! I've toyed with the idea of a rental home in VT to be used partially as a vacation home for my family. What tools do you BP folks use to analyze short term market rentals? Anything worth while? I appreciate any feedback you can offer!

I'd look at similar properties on Vrbo and Airbnb then look at their pricing and availability on their calendar 

You can get a good idea of what you can gross.

Then drop this in a spreadsheet and look at all your expenses to see what your net numbers could look like.

You can find typical expenses here on the BP blog.
