Calculator for Rental Arbitrage
Hi fellow pocketeers... ;)
I'm trying to find a great way to calculate costs and revenue for when you choose to do a rental arbitrage (where you sign a year lease with a landlord or apartment complex, for example) and then sublease it as a short term rental.
The calculators on airdna give good info on potential revenues for a particular address, and the rental calculators on bigger pockets give great info on potential for deals for long term rentals when you purchase, but there is no calculator, that I know of, for when you are only paying for a year's rent plus furnishings & platform posting costs...
Any suggestions on how you account for this unique way of calculating whether a rental arbitrage is a good "deal" or not?
What I'm doing currently, is putting the year's rent cost in as the purchase price in the calculators... I also ensure that with annual rent costs plus furnishings, would work as a long term furnished rental in case something happens where we cant rent it short term via platforms such as airbnb...
Thanks all!
