How It Works

1. Zillow search — Finds all for-sale properties in the ZIP code (~2 seconds)
2. Airbnb search — Finds all active Airbnb listings in the same area (~3 seconds)
3. Geo-matching — Matches properties within 100-200 meters using GPS coordinates
4. Investment analysis — Calculates cap rate, cash flow, mortgage, and break-even occupancy

⏱️ Total runtime: ~5-10 seconds per search (RapidAPI is fast)

Important Notes

• Revenue estimates are based on nightly rate × 70% occupancy. For precise data, use AirDNA ($100+/mo)
• Geo-matching means the Airbnb may be a neighbor's property, not the exact same house — always verify
• Free tier gives 100 Airbnb + 600 Zillow searches per month (RapidAPI free plan)
• Cost per search: $0 on free plan

Investment Metrics

The tool calculates (with 20% down, 7.25% rate, 30yr fixed): - Cap Rate — annual return on full purchase price - Cash-on-Cash — return on your actual cash invested - Monthly Cash Flow — what's left after ALL expenses - GRM — how many years of revenue to pay back purchase price - Break-even occupancy — minimum % booked to not lose money

Investment Grades

• 🟢 A (Excellent) — Cap ≥6%, CoC ≥10%, occupancy ≥85%
• 🟡 B (Good) — Solid returns, normal market risk
• 🟠 C (Fair) — Works but thin margins
• 🔴 D (Weak) — Avoid unless value-add opportunity
