@Serena Kim thank you! This info is super helpful!

@Michael Baum thank you for your reply! Love the option you present, I’ve seen those and intend to go inline with the “industry standard” do you have rough  estimate range that I can expect?

Hey @Alice Horn! I’ll PM ;)

Thank you @Tyler Gibson

Thank you @Amanda Ferguson!

Hey Guys,

I'm a first time poster as I'm new to the Disney STR world. Id like to get a sense from some STR owners as to some of the assumptions I can make in my general underwriting. I'm in the process of purchasing a 9 BR in Solara Resort.

Firstly, Today as the vaccines rollout to the general population, what is the general occupancy rate ?

How much can i expect for management fees, I've seen ranges of 10-20%

on a 9BR what are the expectations for Utilities? i.e. Gas, water, electric, Pool?

I've interviewed a number of management companies, and have seen pros and cons on mom and pop, vs. large sophisticated. any insights as to how this will playout in Disney. My feeling is that Mom and Pop breathe the home, while larger may have greater access to booking tools?

Also, trying to get a general sense of maintenance and Capex. while the home and furnishings are brand new, what are the general maintenance and repairs expectations ? how often should i expect to change furnishings? i.e. Living room /pool/mattresses?

I would like to transform 2-3 bedroom to super hyper Disney themed. inclusive of slide bunks, wall wrap, lighting, sound etc. has anyone done this and give insights as to the general cost?

lastly, we are strongly considering finishing the garage into a high end game room. what can I expect for cost as to "go all out"

my apologies for the ramble, but any insights would be appreciated ! :)

Cheers,

Shawn
