@lambo.242: Short-term vacation rental bookings in The Bahamas jumped more than 30% in September, while the average nightly rate for an entire-place rental was about $581. 🇧🇸 That sounds attractive, but there’s another number that matters just as much: Occupancy was only about 30.4%. A high nightly rate doesn’t mean the property is generating that amount every night of the month. Owners still have to account for empty nights, cleaning, utilities, maintenance, platform or management costs, financing, taxes and other expenses. So if you’re considering an Airbnb/Vrbo-style rental, don’t build your projections around the nightly rate alone. Start with realistic occupancy, estimate your monthly revenue, subtract your expenses and ask: What cash flow is actually left for me? Because revenue can look impressive while the actual return tells a very different story. If you need help analyzing the numbers behind a rental property, business or investment idea, I offer financial analysis and one-on-one coaching through The Astwood Group.
