Every STR investment deal in our database goes through the same process. We pull comparable revenue data from AirDNA and Rabbu, estimate annual gross revenue based on market occupancy and ADR, subtract a standard expense load (management, cleaning, supplies, insurance, maintenance, and reserves), and calculate net cash flow against a 20% down DSCR loan at current rates. The result is a real cash-on-cash return — not a pro forma fantasy.
Estimated gross revenue is based on comparable active STR listings in the same market, using AirDNA and Rabbu occupancy and ADR data — not listing-agent projections.
We subtract management fees, cleaning costs, supplies, insurance, maintenance reserves, and property taxes before calculating net cash flow. No cherry-picked numbers.
Cash-on-cash return is calculated assuming a 20% down DSCR loan at prevailing rates. Every deal is evaluated on what you'd actually pay today — not a hypothetical cash purchase.
How was this deal's revenue estimated?
Gross revenue is benchmarked against comparable active short-term rental listings in the same market using AirDNA and Rabbu occupancy and average daily rate data. We apply a conservative estimate based on the market's actual performance — not the listing agent's projections.
What expenses are included in the cash flow calculation?
We apply a standard expense load that includes property management fees, cleaning and turnover costs, supplies, STR insurance, ongoing maintenance reserves, and property taxes. This gives you a realistic net cash flow figure before debt service.
What does cash-on-cash return mean here?
Cash-on-cash return measures your annual pre-tax cash flow divided by the total cash invested — including 20% down payment, closing costs, and a furnishing allowance. It is the most useful metric for comparing STR investment opportunities on equal footing.
What does the chili pepper rating mean?
The chili pepper rating is VaultSTR's market-adjusted performance score. One pepper means the deal underperforms relative to market benchmarks. Three or more peppers means the deal delivers strong risk-adjusted returns for its market and price range.
