Your Competitors Use the Same Data. Yours Should Be Better.

Most Airbnb data tools analyze every listing: abandoned properties, seasonal hobbyists, listings with two reviews. Then they call it “market data.” You make a $100K+ decision on it.

STRProfitMap takes a different approach. We filter down to reliable listings only, properties with proven track records, consistent bookings, and real revenue history. The noise is gone before you ever see a number.

The result: data you can actually underwrite with confidence.

Full Product Suite

Every tool you need from first search to closing day.

Research markets, underwrite properties, check regulations, and build your deal pipeline. One platform, no spreadsheet gymnastics.

Property Analyzer

Know if the deal works before you write the check.

Paste an address. Get revenue projections, cap rate, cash-on-cash, DSCR, expense breakdowns, and nearby comps in under two minutes.

The Property Analyzer pulls weighted comparables from nearby reliable listings and runs full financial modeling: four revenue scenarios (conservative to top performer), automated expense calculations, and multi-year investment projections. Every number is backed by real rental data, not industry averages from a blog post.

  • Get four revenue bands (P25, P50, P75, P90) so you underwrite to the downside, not the dream.
  • See NOI, cap rate, cash-on-cash, and DSCR color-coded green, yellow, or red for instant viability.
  • Remove outlier comps that skew the numbers, and watch projections recalculate in real time.
The difference between a six-figure win and a six-figure lesson is in the underwriting.

Revenue ranges, financial metrics, comps, and projections in one view

Market Analytics

See what a market actually does before you trust someone else's opinion.

Revenue trends, occupancy shifts, ADR patterns, supply growth, and a proprietary saturation score across 5,588 cities.

Market Analytics gives you the full operating picture: 9 performance charts covering monthly revenue, occupancy, and ADR trends against prior year, supply growth trajectories, revenue distribution by bedroom count, and performance tier breakdowns comparing what top, middle, and bottom earners actually generate. Plus a Market Saturation Score (0 to 12) that flags when a market is approaching oversupply, so you see the risk before you are in it.

  • Spot declining markets early with year-over-year revenue change charts and the saturation gauge.
  • Find the bedroom count that dominates top earners in any city, not the one your agent recommends.
  • Compare what the top 25% of properties earn versus the middle and bottom, market by market.
The investors who pick winning markets are the ones reading the trend, not the headline.

Profit Maps

Find the right neighborhood, not just the right city.

Interactive maps color-coded by revenue tier show you exactly where top-performing STRs cluster inside any market.

Profit Maps plot every reliable listing on a Google Maps overlay, color-coded by revenue performance: low, medium, high, and top tier. Filter by bedroom count. Click any pin for individual listing data. Load nearby markets to expand your search radius. This is how you go from "I like this city" to "I want to buy on this street."

  • See exactly which micro-neighborhoods produce the highest revenue per listing.
  • Filter by bedroom count and revenue tier to match your investment criteria.
  • Stop relying on zip code averages when the block-by-block reality tells a different story.
Location drives returns. The map shows you where the returns actually are.

STREET-LEVEL CONVICTION, NOT CITY-LEVEL GUESSING

Buy Boxes Coming Soon

Stop evaluating every listing from scratch.

Define your target price range, return threshold, market, and property type once. Let matching deals come to you.

Buy Boxes let you codify your investment thesis into clear, repeatable criteria: target markets, minimum cap rate, revenue floor, bedroom count, home price ceiling. When new listings hit the platform, your buy box filters them automatically so you spend time on deals that fit, not deals that feel interesting but fail the math.

  • Set rules once and get matched listings surfaced without manual searching.
  • Run multiple buy boxes for different strategies (cash flow vs. appreciation, mountain vs. beach).
  • Move from "I need to find deals" to "deals that match my criteria are already here."
Coming soon. Scaling a portfolio means scaling your sourcing. Buy Boxes are how.

COMING SOON: YOUR THESIS, AUTOMATED

Define once, filter continuously, review only what fits

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our platform

What exactly do I get access to with a subscription?

downward-pointing arrow

Everything. One subscription unlocks all 20,000+ US markets across all 50 states. That includes revenue data, occupancy rates, average daily rates (ADR), home values, cap rates, cash-on-cash returns, market saturation scores, and individual property-level metrics with listing links.

Where does STRProfitMap's data come from, and how often is it updated?

downward-pointing arrow

We aggregate data from public listing sources across major STR platforms including Airbnb and VRBO. Revenue, occupancy, and ADR data are updated weekly. Property valuations come from a third-party provider that assesses current market values for each active STR address, updated monthly. This is not scraped blog data or estimates from a model. It reflects actual booking performance from real properties.

What counts as a "reliable listing" and why should I care?

downward-pointing arrow

A reliable listing has at least 9 months of consistent operation, regular bookings, and real guest reviews. We apply this filter before you ever see a number. Why it matters: most platforms include every listing, even ones that were active for two months then abandoned, or seasonal hobbyists renting out a spare room three weekends a year. Those listings dilute the metrics and make it harder to get an accurate read on a market. When you see a revenue figure on STRProfitMap, it reflects what serious, consistent operators actually earn.

How is STRProfitMap different from AirDNA, Mashvisor, or other tools?

downward-pointing arrow

Most competitors analyze every listing regardless of quality. A property with 2 reviews that has been active for 2 months gets the same weight as a top performer with 5 years of history. Their metrics are diluted by dead listings, seasonal hobbyists, and abandoned properties. STRProfitMap filters down to reliable listings only before calculating any metrics. The result: when you see revenue, occupancy, or cap rate numbers on our platform, they reflect what serious operators actually earn, not a diluted average that obscures real market performance.

Does the revenue data include cleaning fees?

downward-pointing arrow

Yes. Revenue figures on STRProfitMap include cleaning fees to stay consistent across hosts, since cleaning fee structures vary widely (some hosts charge high cleaning fees with lower nightly rates, others bundle everything into the nightly price). Including them gives you a complete picture of what each property actually generates.

What do the revenue percentiles (P25, P50, P75, P90) mean?

downward-pointing arrow

Revenue percentiles show how properties perform across the earnings spectrum in a given market:

P25 (Lowest Earners): Bottom 25% of reliable listings by revenue.
P50 (Middle Earners): The median. Half of reliable listings earn more, half earn less.
P75 (Mid-High Earners): Top 25%. These are strong performers with solid operations.
P90 (High Earners): Top 10%. Achievable with a well-located, well-managed property and the right amenities.

You can toggle percentiles at the market level, by bedroom count, or for individual properties. This lets you underwrite conservatively (P50) or see what top operators pull in (P90).

What do cap rate, cash-on-cash return, NOI, and DSCR mean?

downward-pointing arrow

These are the core financial metrics investors use to evaluate deals:

Cap Rate: Annual net operating income divided by property value. A quick profitability indicator. Higher means better return relative to price.
Cash-on-Cash (CoC): Annual pre-tax cash flow divided by the total cash you invested (down payment, closing costs, rehab). Shows what your actual money earns.
NOI (Net Operating Income): Gross revenue minus operating expenses (cleaning, maintenance, management, supplies, insurance). Does not include mortgage payments.
DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio): NOI divided by annual mortgage payments. A DSCR above 1.0 means the property covers its own debt. Lenders typically want 1.25 or higher.

The Property Analyzer calculates all of these automatically for any address you enter.

Can I try STRProfitMap before subscribing?

downward-pointing arrow

Yes. You can explore any market page and browse real data in preview mode. Free accounts also get 3 property analyses per day through the Property Analyzer, where you can enter any US address and see revenue estimates, financial projections, and comparable properties. No credit card needed to start. For a guided walkthrough, click "See Demo" on the homepage to see a sample market with full data.

I can't find my city or neighborhood. Is it covered?

downward-pointing arrow

We cover 20,000+ markets across all 50 states, but market boundaries follow how Airbnb and VRBO define them, not city limits or zip codes. Your area may be listed under a nearby city or a broader regional name. Try searching for surrounding towns or the county name. If you still can't find it, reach out to us at support@strprofitmap.com and we will investigate.

Can I export data to use in my own spreadsheets or presentations?

downward-pointing arrow

Yes. Premium subscribers can export market data to CSV or Excel from any market page. Each export includes revenue, ADR, occupancy, listings count, and more. You get two export options per market: "All Listings" and "Reliable Listings Only," so you can compare the full dataset against filtered data. Zip code level analytics are also available for drilling into specific neighborhoods.

How do I analyze a specific property I am considering buying?

downward-pointing arrow

Go to strprofitmap.com/analysis/property-analyzer and enter the property address. You will see seven sections: revenue estimates across four percentile bands (P25/P50/P75/P90), financial metrics (NOI, cap rate, CoC, DSCR), a full expense breakdown, a comparables map showing nearby STRs, an editable comparables table, and a multi-year investment projection with adjustable assumptions for appreciation, rent growth, and expenses. Free accounts get 3 analyses per day.

Can I cancel my subscription at any time?

downward-pointing arrow

Yes. Cancel anytime from your account settings under "Manage Subscription." There are no contracts, no cancellation fees, and no auto-renewal after you cancel. Your access continues through the end of your current billing period. If you run into any issues with the cancellation process, email us at support@strprofitmap.com and we will handle it immediately.
