With STR In the winter months I about break even or lose a little, June-August I should net between $4,000-$6,000 depending on occupancy 2) Immediate payment by VRBO or Airbnb, no more waiting for the tenants to pay or if they will pay, 3) The revenue stream makes it easier to justify a property manager (or Co-host in Airbnb terms).
