Hunt every deal before the market does.
Drop an address. Get a clear buy / pass verdict in minutes — the rent math, whether short-term rental is legal there, and whether the landlord allows it.
Researched live, per address — across
…plus live city & county short-term-rental ordinances, permit filings, court records, and tax data.We read these public sources live, the moment you ask — we're not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
You get a decision — not a dashboard.
One verdict: a tier, the year-one net, the ROI, and three scenarios — in about two minutes.
We show the work — they show a dashboard.
Thirteen checks run live on every address — legality, the landlord, demand, and the deal-killers a comp table never catches. Watch it happen.
Most tools hand you data. We hand you the decision.
A clear buy or pass on every address — and whether you're even allowed to run it.
A tier, a number, a decision
Every address comes back as a simple tier with first-year net income, ROI, and three scenarios — so you know in minutes whether to chase it.
- Conservative, realistic, and stretch numbers on every deal
- Consistent underwriting — not gut feel
- On screen and as a clean PDF you can share
Is it even legal here — and will the landlord allow it?
Local rules are the number-one thing that kills a short-term-rental deal, and almost no tool tells you whether a building or landlord is friendly to it. We do both.
- Short-term-rental rules by city: legal, limited, or banned
- Who owns the building, lawsuit history, and their stance
- Catches the deal-killers a comp table never will
Made for lease-to-rent operators
Real rent after free-month concessions, projected nightly income, and whether the lease even lets you sublet — the numbers that actually decide the deal.
- Real monthly cost after concessions
- Lease and sublet permission checks
- Margin math tuned to the way you operate
How do you know it's right?
The honest answer isn't a magic accuracy score — it's method and transparency.
We research each address the moment you ask — and cite every source. Not a pre-scraped dataset that counts blocked dates as booked and goes stale.
All 13 checks link the listings, ordinances, and records they used. When we can't find something, we mark it NO DATA — we never fake confidence.
Verdicts are tuned against the real performance of short-term rentals we operate ourselves — ground truth competitors can only infer.
Address in. Decision out. Three steps.
Paste any address. No setup, no spreadsheet.
Live research across legality, the landlord, rent math, and demand — in minutes.
ACQUIRE, PILOT, or PASS — with the numbers and the receipts.
The edge is the decision.
A decision, not a dashboard
Most tools hand you numbers and leave the judgment to you. We give you a tier and a buy/pass — the answer, not the homework.
The checks nobody else runs
Whether it's legal there, and whether the landlord allows it — the two things that kill most deals, and the ones nobody else checks.
Grounded in real operating data
Tuned against units we actually operate — real-world performance a scraper can't see.

Accuracy, sources, and how deep it goes
The questions our own team asked — answered straight.
How accurate is it versus AirDNA, Rabbu, or Mashvisor?
Different method, not a magic number. We research each address live and cite every source, instead of serving a pre-scraped dataset (theirs count blocked dates as booked and include dead listings). And verdicts are calibrated against short-term rentals we operate ourselves.
Where does the data come from?
Live, per-address: active listings (Airbnb, VRBO, Booking, Expedia, Trip.com), city & county short-term-rental ordinances, permit filings, HOA rules, court records (evictions, code violations), tax/assessor data, and rent benchmarks like Zillow. Every check on your report links its sources.
How deep does the research go?
A standard run is 13 scored checks across legality, demand, competition, building/landlord, and risk. Deep STRfax goes further: it reads real live comps (we show how many comps and reviews we actually read), builds a regulatory carfax (ordinance, citation, license, occupancy cap) and a landlord carfax, and runs a profitability model validated against those comps.
What are the 13 checks?
STR legality/ordinance, HOA or building STR ban, existing Airbnb in the building, competition density (¼ mile), hotel pricing ceiling (1 mile), demand drivers, rent benchmark, landlord history, code violations & insurance, noise & nuisance, construction pipeline, safety, and pest/infestation — plus gentrification & schools on a deep run.
Is this financial advice or a guarantee?
No. It's decision support — live research plus underwriting math. We give three scenarios (conservative, realistic, stretch), not one false-precise number, and we show our sources so you can verify. You make the call.
What happens when you can't find data?
We mark it NO DATA instead of guessing. We'd rather show a gap than fake confidence — and a thin-data or weak-demand area is itself a signal that caps the verdict, no matter how good the pro forma looks.
How is the ACQUIRE / PILOT / PASS verdict and S–D tier decided?
The money (ADR, occupancy, Y1 net, ROI, payback) plus the 13 checks roll into one decision. Hard realities can cap it — if short-term rental is illegal there, it's never an ACQUIRE regardless of the numbers. A deep run also tells you whether the live comps agree with the model.
Doesn't short-term-rental data go stale fast?
Exactly why we research live at the moment you ask instead of shipping a dataset — ordinances change, listings die, new comps appear. A twice-weekly agent also watches active markets for regulation changes and flags anything that would move a legality verdict.
How long does it take, and what does it cost?
A verdict in minutes. Pricing is flat and shown openly — 1 credit = 1 analysis (Deep STRfax uses more), a 7-day free trial, cancel anytime. No per-market gating, no “contact sales.”
Why trust your numbers over the tool I already use?
Three things they can't match: we research live and cite sources, we check legality + landlord + sublet (the deal-killers a dashboard hides), and we calibrate against units we actually operate. And we show the work — the checks running, the comps we read — instead of a black box.
Do you cover my market, or international?
US and Canada are strongest; we also support Mexico and parts of Europe. Because the research is live per address, we're not limited to markets baked into a pre-built dataset.
How do you check the landlord?
Landlord carfax: we identify the owning entity (with an OpenCorporates link), pull eviction filings and code violations from the last 24 months, surface litigation red flags, and assess the management company's reputation — so you know who you'd be dealing with before you sign.
Can it handle multiple addresses or a broker deck?
Yes. Drop a PDF, image, or deck and we pre-fill each unit; run them and every unit comes back as its own row with its own verdict.
