Recommended Resources: 
  • Air DNA – Analyze Potential Revenue for Acquisitions
    • Keep in mind, the data is only as good as the inputs. Mike recommends building your own AirDNA data set by looking at 15-20 comps, looking at calendars, amenities, etc and doing your due diligence.
  • Price Labs – Revenue Management & Dynamic Pricing Tool
    • Recommended by Sylvie, a less expensive alternative to Air DNA
  • Host Financial – Real Estate Financing Company
    • Will lend based on cash flow from AirDNA projections. In Mike’s experience, they are easy to work with and reasonably competitive with traditional lenders
