Was piddling on this site: http://rentingyourplace.com/a/AirDnA-Airbnb-Data-and-Analytics.html and discovered I can pretty much find every Air listing in my area, and with the mapping feature, photos and a little leg work, figure out exactly where each property is. In addition, I can look at the reviews to figure out which units where rented for which months.
Seriously considering taking a day (it's our slow month) and making up a spreadsheet of street addresses and owner's first names for our state Department of Taxes and suggesting they should investigate if any of these property owners actually filed their room taxes for the months they obviously had paying guests. Guess I could send a copy to the state health department and fire department to see if they've been inspected.
Probably just wasting my time, and could be using it more wisely, but I can pretend it's my day off and it's recreation.
Thoughts?
