@Michael Baum That’s the impression I am getting a lot from some of my advisors. I however think it would be a good stepping stone towards a purchase.

@Paul Sandhu I will hire someone to clean as I work full time. Would it be smart to invest in water smart faucets, showers, and such to cut expenses or is that weird for a AirBNB?

@Alex Bekeza I would be sub-leasing this property. But I am super curious about seller financing. I don’t know much about seller financing how would it work in this case?

Just starting out up in Lake Arrowhead, California I got a lead on a Condo in the Lake Arrowhead Village 5 min walk from the Lake and located in the middle of all the shopping and dinning. It has a pool and hot tube, 2 bedroom 2 bath. It will sleep 9 guests after my startup shopping. Its owner is asking $1800 there is an $400 dollar HOA and I assume they are including that in the rent right? Heres the numbers I got from my analysis. Please check it out and tell me if I go wrong please.

Cost:

-Startup

Furniture= $1000 (already furnished I will just add and Crib, and Bunk bed)

Appliances= $300

Security Deposit=$3600

 Bath Supplies=$200

Kitchen=$200

Cleaning Supplies=$300

Total = $5,500

Recurring Monthly:

Rent= $1800

Utilities=$200

Internet=$100

Cleaning Supplies=$100 (I will do all cleaning until I find some one that can)

Misc=$100

Recurring Per Stay:

Cleaning service= $70? (How much do you guys think for this once I find someone what will they charge. The place is 1,000 sqr ft and mostly carpet?)

Consumables =$15

Total Monthly Expenses= $2280

Income:

Day rented per month 20-25 (Its a very high volume market up here so some months I will have very little vacancy)

Per night range $125/$275

AirBNB hosting fee -3%

Tax withholding -14%

Returns:

Investment paid back in 2 month

Weekly yield about $400 on average

Monthly cashflow about $1583 on average 

Annual Best Case Scenario Return= $19,268 post tax 

Annual Worst Case Scenario Return= $6,345 post tax

Air BnBs rent calculator for my area came out to be $2304, Eliotandme.com estimate on $1100 and my data said $1583. Pretty good right. Please let me know if you find my mistakes or please leave any advice or comments it would be highly appreciated! -Jonathan
