What are the best AI prompts for Airbnb investing? (BNBCalc MCP)

How do I write a prompt the BNBCalc MCP server can answer?

Write it the way you'd ask a person, but include the details BNBCalc needs, because the assistant has to pass them to the tool. For most questions that means:

• the address, or a ZIP code or city for a quick revenue estimate;
• bedrooms, bathrooms and how many guests it sleeps;
• the price or the rent, if you want cash flow, plus your loan terms if you're buying.

If you leave something out, the assistant will usually ask for it before it runs anything. Paid tools then send back their price first, and your assistant should check it with you before running them. Every prompt below is ready to paste, but make sure to swap in your own property's details.

What would a property earn on Airbnb?

What would a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house that sleeps 6 at 123 Main St, Austin, TX 78704 earn per year on Airbnb?

Estimate Airbnb revenue for a 2 bedroom in ZIP code 37738, and show me the busiest and slowest months.

These use the revenue estimate tool, which costs $0.10. You'll get the yearly revenue, nightly rate and occupancy, a range from the 25th to the 90th percentile, a 12-month curve, and what nearby listings actually earned last year, which is usually lower than the full-time figure because many homes aren't open all year.

Which Airbnb listings are comparable to mine?

Show me the 15 closest Airbnb comps for a 3 bedroom at 123 Main St, Austin, TX 78704, sorted by annual revenue, with each one's nightly rate and occupancy.

Look up this Airbnb listing and tell me how its rating and amenities compare with the comps near it: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/12345678

Finding comps costs $0.10 for up to 50 listings, while opening one comp in detail, or reading a live Airbnb listing from its link, costs $0.05 each. A listing's photos are free.

Is this property a good Airbnb deal?

Run a buy analysis on 123 Main St, Austin, TX 78704: 3 bed, 2 bath, sleeps 6, $450,000 purchase price, 25% down, 7% interest over 30 years. What's the monthly cash flow and cash-on-cash return?

Could I rent a 2 bed, 1 bath apartment that sleeps 4 at 500 Elm St, Nashville, TN 37203 for $2,400 a month and run it as an Airbnb? How long would it take to earn back my setup costs?

I'd co-host a 4 bed, 3 bath house that sleeps 10 at 77 Lake Rd, Gatlinburg, TN 37738 for a 20% commission. What would I earn, and what would the owner keep?

I already own a 3 bed, 2 bath condo that sleeps 6 at 9 Bay Dr, Tampa, FL 33606. I paid $380,000 with 20% down at 6.5% over 30 years, with 27 years left. What would it make as an Airbnb?

Each full analysis costs $0.20 and saves a report you can share, and asking for AI comps or AI expense estimates adds $0.10 for each one that completes. If you leave out the loan terms on a buy, BNBCalc uses its defaults, so give your own if you have a lender's quote.

Would it earn more as a long-term rental?

What would a 3 bed, 2 bath house at 123 Main St, Austin, TX 78704 rent for long term, and how does that compare with its Airbnb revenue?

What are the Section 8 rents for a 2 bedroom in ZIP code 33703?

The long-term rent estimate works for US addresses and costs $0.05, with up to 20 comparable rentals and a low-to-high range, while Section 8 and Census rents are free.

Can it do the loan and tax math?

Yes, and these calculators are free:

What's the DSCR on $36,000 of yearly operating income with a $400,000 loan at 7% over 30 years?

Show me the amortization on a $360,000 loan at 6.75% over 30 years, and how much principal I'd pay off in the first five years.

Estimate the depreciation and first-year tax savings on a $500,000 short-term rental purchase.

Should I sell my rental for $600,000, or refinance my $300,000 loan (6.5%, 30 years, taken out in 2021) into a new $360,000 loan at 6% over 30 years? Show me both.

The tax calculator is a planning estimate for US properties, so have a CPA check anything you'd file.

Can it check my Airbnb listing?

Audit my Airbnb listing and tell me what to fix first: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/12345678

A new audit uses one Listing Optimizer credit, the same credit as a Listing Audit in the app, and checking its status or getting its report link afterwards is free.

Can I chain several questions into one prompt?

Yes, and that's often the quickest way to vet a deal. For example:

For 123 Main St, Austin, TX 78704 (3 bed, 2 bath, sleeps 6): estimate its Airbnb revenue, show me the 10 closest comps, then run a buy analysis at $450,000 with 25% down at 7% over 30 years. Tell me whether the cash flow holds up in the slowest month.

That runs three paid tools, $0.10 + $0.10 + $0.20, so it costs $0.40, and your assistant should check each price with you as it comes up. You can also ask about what you've already done for free, such as "List my saved BNBCalc analyses", "Show my material participation hours this year" or "What's my BNBCalc MCP usage this month?"
