On this week's episode, Avery is joined by Jae Seok An, founder of Airbtics, to dig into smarter market selection and the realities of STR data. They walk through Airbtics’ draw-your-own-market mapping, listing density by bedroom count, and the Market Explorer—tools aimed at helping newer investors compare many locations, budgets, and regulation profiles quickly. Jae shares where the platform is headed (more granular property-level history, clearer “active listing” definitions, and global coverage) and offers practical takes on saturation, accuracy, and why your operations can double or triple revenue on the same property. He closes with advice to start with free analytics, research multiple markets, and then narrow to neighborhood-level decisions.
