What it earns, what it costs to own, and the net yield

Financial analysis
· Brixfox Standard · Non-resident · Fully managed
Fully managed is the Brixfox Standard shown on every card: a full-service manager's commission, charged on top of the Airbnb/Booking channel fees (not the cleaning cost — changeovers are funded by guest cleaning fees; you bear the residual). Self-managed drops the commission; the channel fees stay, because the platform is paid whoever manages, and you pay staff/local operations, a higher cleaning residual and your own time directly. Both scenarios divide the SAME gross revenue — the toggle changes the cost stack, not the revenue. That revenue is observed from actively-operated comps, so self-managed assumes you match their performance.Both scenarios share the same projected revenue — the toggle changes who runs the property and what that costs, not what it earns.
Net yieldNet operating income ÷ all-in investment. After local operating taxes; before home-country personal tax and financing costs. Modelled from observed market performance of comparable Airbnb listings.

We have not confirmed this exact property on Airbnb, so it carries no operating history here. The figures above rest on the comparable set — a launch scenario, not a track record.

Revenue assumptions

Derived from the comparable Airbnb listings below. The headline ADR is the expected BOOKED rate — nearby asking prices corrected by our measured, market-calibrated asking-to-booked factor. Occupancy is calibrated against tracked reference homes nearby. Comp cards below show raw asking prices.

Rental yield + value growth

Your net rental yield plus a yearly rise in the property's market value (land and building) that you choose. Value growth is an assumption, not data — which is why it starts at 0% and is kept out of the yield figures above.

Solid potential with some areas to watch. The strong rental yield offsets the weaker location.

ROI calculations use verified Brixfox Intelligence rental data. Operating costs are modelled per line — Airbnb/Booking channel fees whoever manages, then either a full-service management commission or the staff/local operations a self-managing owner buys back, cleaning residual, utilities & insurance, local taxes — with every rate editable in the Financial analysis P&L above. Gross revenue is identical in both management scenarios. Market factors in ABC Islands may impact actual yields.
