Zillow × Airbnb Matcher Skill

This skill finds for-sale properties that already have an active Airbnb listing nearby — using GPS-based geo-matching to cross-reference Zillow and Airbnb data.

How to Use (Chat Commands)

Send any of these messages:

| Message | What Happens | |---------|-------------| | search airbnb 78704 | Search Austin TX zip code | | search airbnb Nashville TN | Search by city | | check properties 33139 | Miami Beach STR check | | airbnb demo | Run demo (no API needed) | | search airbnb 78704 max 800000 | Filter by max price | | search airbnb 78704 min 3 beds | Filter by bedrooms |

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
