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.

Total return estimate

OptionalNet yield plus an appreciation assumption you choose. Appreciation is a forward-looking assumption, not data — which is why it defaults to 0% and is kept out of the yield figures above.
