Pricing & Profitability

The Live Oak Lake property achieved over 95% occupancy and a RevPAR exceeding $500 in its first year, demonstrating the power of unique design and targeted marketing.

The $7 million sale was valued at an 8% cap rate based on a net revenue of $550,000, with the brand and audience (150,000 followers) being significant value drivers for the buyer.

A high-income couple earning $200,000 annually can lose approximately $70,000 to taxes, which can be mitigated through STR investing.

Tax strategies like bonus depreciation cannot save a bad deal; the property must cash flow on its own merits first.

A single treehouse costing $55,000 to build generated over $150,000 in its second full year, demonstrating the high profit potential of unique stays.
