Frequently asked questions
How do I estimate occupancy?
Check comparable listings' calendars over the next 90 days, or use market data tools. New listings usually run 15–20 points below established ones for the first season.
Should I compare with long-term rent?
Yes. Short-term rentals typically gross 1.5–3× long-term rent but cost far more in cleaning, management, furnishings and vacancy risk.
