Rent to operate, or buy to operate?
Rental arbitrage
Start with annual short-term revenue after modelled operating costs, then subtract the annual lease. Compare break-even occupancy with your own occupancy scenario and replace the registered rent benchmark with your actual contract.
Buy to short-term let
Compare modelled operating revenue with the supported purchase benchmark. Add acquisition, furnishing, service charges and financing costs before assessing your own return. A missing buy yield means insufficient sales evidence; rental economics can still be shown.
These scenarios assume 80% occupancy and self-management. Surplus excludes furnishing, deposits, permits, owner service charges and finance. Sampled asks are not achieved bookings; building-level rental benchmarks may pool project contracts. Check landlord permission and current DET holiday-home requirements before operating.
