Financial analysis
· Brixfox Standard · Non-resident · Fully managed
Fully managed is the Brixfox Standard shown on every card: a full-service manager whose commission includes the OTA/channel listing (not the cleaning cost — changeovers are funded by guest cleaning fees; you bear the residual). Self-managed drops the commission but pays the OTA host fee directly — and your own time.
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.
