Rent a unit, let it short-term
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 modelled yield means insufficient sales evidence; rental economics can still be shown.
