What should I be asking myself when investing in short-term vacation rental property?
LEGAL & ZONING RULES
-
Are short-term rentals (STRs) legally allowed in this specific city, county, and neighborhood?
-
Does the local municipality require an operating license, safety inspection, or tax registration?
-
Are there homeowners association (HOA) or condo board rules that ban or restrict short-term leasing or minimum stay lengths?
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
-
What is the verifiable gross rental income and occupancy rate from the past 12 to 24 months (if previously rented)?
-
What is the cost of furnishing (if new acquisition) the rental and how long will it take to recoup the initial investment. For example, it cost $35,000 to furnish the home. It will generate an additional $2000 per month over long-term market rent. If all $2000 was applied it would take around 17 1/2 months (or longer) to break even.
-
What is the projected net operating income (NOI) after factoring in local property taxes, insurance, utilities, internet and platform booking fees and does it actually make sense to do short-term rental or would a long-term tenant be just as profitable without the added expense of furnishing the property?

How is the DSCR calculated for a vacation rental property?
-
For newly acquired or unestablished properties, we utilize projected revenue from AirDNA to project gross monthly earnings. Depending on whether or not you're new to the short-term rental business or a seasoned owner, we will lend 75% to 100% of AirDNA projected revenue.
-
If the property has operating history, income is validated using 12 consecutive months of historical payout statements from Airbnb, VRBO, HomeAway or property management reports.
-
In cases where short-term rental projections or history aren't eligible, standard long-term market rent determined by an appraiser in the 1007 report will be used.
