Who is the buyer for this idea?

STR host with 3-30 properties. Reach them through biggerpockets forums and property-management software integrations. Skip broad SEO on day 1 — start where your first 20 customers already hang out.

What tech stack would you use?

Suggested stack: Next.js, Supabase, Airbnb API, and Stripe. You can build the v1 in weeks on this stack; the moat is workflow depth, not framework choice.

Who are the incumbents I'd be competing with?

Study Avalara MyLodgeTax and Rentalguardian — read their 1-star reviews, price ladder, and onboarding. That's where your positioning lives.
