Key insights

  • During low seasons, properties may drop prices to around the break-even point ($47/day in the example) to cover costs, while high seasons can see rates of $120/night or more.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Investing in a property where the market rate during high season is only equal to your minimum daily profit means you will not make any money on the investment.
