Revenue projections:Rabbu - $85k (49% occupancy and $522 ADR)Airdna - $118k (57% occupancy and $570 ADR)Airbtics - $101k (52% occupancy and $520 ADR)If we assume revenue of $100k.

Consequently, most STR owners look at the revenue from renting as a way to offset the cost of having a ski house as opposed to strictly as an investment vehicle.  2)  How are STRs regulated in the area where you would want the vacation home?  

On the pricing software you can see the exact yearly revenue for each specific property.

What you can do is just compare your possible STR revenue with the MTR.

The main issues are: 1. gross revenue has been less than half the projections the PM initially provided and what is on AirDNA, and 2. gross revenue has dropped 30% from last year to this year despite me investing over $125K in improvements (new pool, new fire pit, new landscaping, new dog yard). 

I think these regulations improve accountability, generate revenue, ensure fair competition, protect neighborhoods, address housing shortages, and promote responsible property use.

Most homeowners shift to winter rentals during those months to keep some cash flow.If you’re planning to use the property yourself for two weeks in the summer, it’s important to keep in mind that it will take away a significant chunk of prime revenue, which will make it harder to break even or generate solid income.If year-round traffic is a key factor for you, you might want to look into areas down south or near a National Park, but with the right property and strategy, Cape Cod can still be a good investment—especially if you’re looking to have something to enjoy and eventually leave to your kids. 

Safe revenue when I am up and running full STR in the Spring is 50k, but I think I can do closer to 75k and up with a few tweaks.

Most owners of short-term rentals on the islands and the nearby areas have been dealing with the triple whammy of a slowing economy effecting rental revenue this year, higher insurances and higher property taxes.

Once the project is complete, their monthly payments would drop from $1,000 to just $60 with the rental revenue coming in.
