Where Dreamers Become Doers
Let’s talk numbers. Because fantasy Airbnb portfolios don’t pay the bills—cash flow does.
Whether you’re self-funding a cabin or pitching investors on a 4-unit beach play, your ability to predict profit accurately is what separates a great deal from a dead weight.
Here’s how to run projections that actually hold up:
📈 1. RevPar= ADR x Occupancy
That’s your core formula:
Average Daily Rate × Occupancy Rate = Projected Monthly Revenue.
Tools like AirDNA and Wheelhouse help you pull these numbers for your specific market and bedroom count.
📊 2. Use RevPAR to Compare Apples to Apples
Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) helps you compare different properties—regardless of size.
Use it to spot overperformers (and overpriced duds).
🧼 3. Be Honest About Your Costs
Your spreadsheet must include:
- Cleaning + laundry costs
- Restocking supplies
- Platform fees (Airbnb takes a cut)
- Management fees (if outsourced or internal)
- Maintenance buffer (something always breaks)
💡 Pro Tip:
Overestimate expenses and underestimate income.
If the deal still pencils out—it’s worth pursuing.
