THE NUMBERS BEHIND THE DREAM
Run the numbers.
Keep the perspective.
A cabin can be a personal escape, a rental business, or both. This editable pro forma helps you pressure-test an idea before treating it like a plan.
Build your scenarioINTERACTIVE UNDERWRITING
Your scenario,
line by line.
Change any input to see how occupancy, rates, expenses, and debt affect the outcome. The calculator never substitutes a market average for an individual cabin's history.
The purchase.
The income.
The real-world expenses.
Add actual taxes, insurance, and utilities before relying on this scenario; zeros can make returns look better than reality.
WHAT THE MODEL DOES & DOESN'T DO
A useful starting point.
Not the final word.
Market context, used carefully.
Where licensed data is available, AirDNA can provide area-level ADR, occupancy, and average revenue for a trailing 12-month period. Those figures are not a property-specific projection.
Transparent arithmetic.
Gross rent uses available nights × your occupancy assumption × nightly rate. The model then deducts entered operating costs, a reserve, and mortgage payments to show estimated pre-tax cash flow.
Due diligence still matters.
Verify local rental permissions, deed restrictions, insurance, taxes, utilities, management agreements, financing, and actual property performance before making an investment decision.
