How can I determine viability of a property?

[David11889]

Hello. I am wondering if there is a means to determine the viability of a property before making an investment. For example, are there published figures for the number of rentals of a particular property or general are specific numbers for occupancy rates. 

I realize this may be completely private and not subject to public scrutiny. 

I have been looking into buying a property and some listings are showing as current airbnb properties. It’s possible I could ask the realtor but this is just a surface inquiry and would rather not get too bogged down with that.

Check airdna.com , the statistics there maybe help you

@David11889 Just remember that Airdna data are historic. When potential hosts see profits they pile into Airbnb listings and then occupancy and pricing drops. I guess I am saying don't proceed if the business case is marginal unless you can weather the odd years losses.
