Airbnb Rental - Help me analyze this deal

[Lorraine Molina]

Hello everyone,

I'm a first time buyer and I'm interested in investing in a vacation rental in joshua tree, ca. I'm using the rental calculator to anyalyze a deal. Would love feedback if I'm doing this correctly. It's my first time doing this! I used airdna to get a value for the potential rental income. All and any advice is happily welcomed.

Hi @Lorraine Molina,

Happy to help. Couple things that stood out to me.

- 8% property MGMT: Are you self renting? PM fees for airbnb are around 25%

-property taxes look low, should be 1.15 assessed property value

-how many beds/baths is the home? AirDNA numbers include cleaning fees. I'd estimate 15%+ of airDNA revenue is cleaning fees vs booking fees.

-everything else looks pretty good for estimated projections

Hope that helps! Good luck.
