Good news - both commercial units have "leased" signs in the window today.

Yeah, that's high for that building but this is what having that grandfathered AirBnB permit grants you. What's the size of the unit?


Know it all.

Thanks

just run a scenario here:

say 20% down payment with 2.8% 25 yr rate, property tax 183/moth,  monthly utility and fees $270

on the income side, say air bnb it, low season 1800/month High season 4500/month.

 

it works out the net holding cost at $608@ low season

 

At high season, it may make bit of money out of it( yearly expected net about 10k-20k)

 

considering the potential appreciation of the land, and market rate of reit  or cap rate @6%,

 

so it seems make sense to have a box that yield at 15-20% rate of return.

 

thoughts?

I'd estimate that your revenues are a bit low.  Demand for airbnb's are high in Victoria as only a handful of buildings are allowed to have them.  A lot of operators leave a lot of money on the table by asking for rates that are too low. 

 

http://insideairbnb.com/victoria  This is a good tool if you're curious about what sort of rates/availability you can attract in various buildings in Victoria.  You can click on individual listings and see their estimated revenues.  

 

By comparison, the rack rates at Parkside Hotel for high season 2019 are as follows:

 

May -  $255

June - $255

July - $305

August - $305

September - $255

I find Airbnb demand is crazy high in summer and very slow in winter. You can drop your winter rates all you want but people either want it or they don't. I think there are some costs you haven't factored in, like insurance, wifi and cable.
