Frequently Asked Questions
What is cash-on-cash return?
Cash-on-cash return is the return on your actual cash invested, calculated as annual cash flow divided by total cash invested. It measures how hard your invested cash is working after down payment, closing costs, and setup costs.
What is break-even occupancy?
Break-even occupancy is the minimum occupancy rate needed to cover expenses and reach zero cash flow. A lower break-even percentage gives an STR deal more cushion against slow seasons or weaker-than-expected bookings.
What is cap rate?
Cap rate is net operating income divided by purchase price. It measures the property's unlevered return and helps compare short-term rental properties before financing choices affect the result.
What expenses should I include in STR analysis?
Include platform fees, cleaning costs, insurance, property tax, utilities, maintenance reserve, property management fees if applicable, and mortgage payments if financed.
