is there a way to look up how much a specific airbnb makes?

Question

hey guys I'm in the process of trying to purchase my first str. I've been all over airbnb and vrbo and airdna analyzing propertys. but I was wondering if there is another site out there that allows you to look up details on a specific airbnb. like its yearly gross revenue, occupancy rates things like that. anybody know of anything like that?

This is what Mashvisor shows you. Its historical rental income by month per specific property. I have a paid account so you might need to pay to see this info. It sounds like this is what @Kyle Debiase is looking for...?

Luke Carl · Answer

No and it wouldn’t matter. You would make a totally different number than they do. Enemy Method. Google it.

Mashvisor shows you how much a specific property makes

Ryan Moyer · Answer

If someone books on VRBO or on a direct website then their calendar sync will block the dates on AirBNB, and I would then guess MashVisor will see it as a booking.

If that's the case then if anything it probably does the opposite and over-counts it rather under since it is probably counting owner stays as bookings.

So @Kyle Debiase it appears the answer to your original question - "is there a way to look up how much a specific airbnb makes?" is NO.

But you can get pretty close by doing the work yourself.....

I wonder if there's a site that takes into account all known listings....? Because to only list AIR stats is misleading...one of my properties only has AIR supplying half the listings.....

I just researched the actual listings on AIR and VRBO and went with that. Turned out to be plenty accurate. I don't trust algorithms I guess....

Dana Boyd · Answer

@Bruce Woodruff Its only AirBNB. So it doesnt take into account VRBO, private bookings, etc. I not sure exactly how close it is to an exact estimate because I'm sure each place is different. Before we made our first purchase, I looked at the data on Mashvisor, AirDNA, actually listings on AirBNB, compared them all, and made my best educated estimate for what I forecasted revenue to be for the property. AirDNA has more data besides just numbers from AirBNB than Mashvisor.

Bruce Woodruff · Answer

Got it, but does it really capture the exact accurate income? Or just AIRBnB? What about all the other STR sites? And private bookings?

How close would you estimate it is?

William Beck · Answer

Revenue data is always a challenge to find unless you find the needle in the haystack where the seller has 10yr trailing full financials with a CPA. I find a lot of sellers who aren't serious investors tend to just 'ballpark' what they make, which can be a bit aggravating for clients that seek in depth info. It's good to know what the market occupancy looks like month to month so you can understand what the low-average-high expectations are there. Then the ADR you can do the same with analyzing comps for low-mid-high assumptions and create a range there too. Then you combine occupancy/ADR to get worst worst case scenario, average scenario, and pie in the sky high scenario.

Data rabbu is another good site to get projected monthly revenue.
