• AIRDNA - Airdna is by no means perfect, but it's great for quickly running numbers, and it's frequently used by DSCR lenders to evaluate rental potential. If you're planning to fund your purchase with a DSCR loan, you should know the rentalyzer estimate for the property.  Using the paid version allows you to quickly identify comps and dive into the unique market trends in a particular area.
• MASHVISOR - Mashvisor allows you to easily see which areas are the best options to invest in by graphically demonstrating rental metrics in the form of a heat map. You can visibly see which areas are best for airbnb investments on a cash-on cash basis, what areas have the highest occupancy rates, and where in the greater Austin area you will find the greatest airbnb rental income. 
• RABBU - Data.Rabbu allows you to hone in on specific airbnb comps using filters such as location, bedroom count, and specific amenity selection.  You can also filter based on percentile and review ratings to eliminate ameteaur hosts. It allows you to hand select comparable properties so that you can get the most realistic idea of your anticipated revenue.
• PRICELABS - Although price labs was designed as a pricing tool for existing airbnbs, pricelabs is also great for analyzing potential STR investment opportunities.  You can create a unique compset for a potential property and then really hone in on particular attributes.  You can narrow down by property criteria as well as listing metrics such as number of reviews.  This allows you to get a much more accurate estimate.
