Our area isn't nearly as touristy as yours so we could probably get $100/night. For sure we'd be booked twice a year since we aren't far from the Bristol Motor Speedway (nascar) Here are the numbers. What do you think?<br /><br />If purchased at 98k which is the asking price:<br />piti 466.00<br />heat/elec 150.00<br />wifi 60.00 <br />water 50.00<br />TOTAL 726.00 per month carrying charges (not to mention maintenance, mowing, cleaning, furnishing)<br /><br />Let's round it up to $800 per month carrying charges. That is $9600 per year. We'd have to rent it for roughly 100 nights in a year just to break even. After all, airbnb also gets paid their percentage.<br /><br />So, even if each guest stays a whole 7 days (unlikely), that is 14+ times it has to be cleaned, beds made, mopped, etc.... just to break even. <br />pythonesk99https://www.blogger.com/profile/09988548811376425955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980150319004551086.post-45586098597134691752016-10-24T10:19:14.646-04:002016-10-24T10:19:14.646-04:00Yes, yes, yes to hooks!
