The revenue basis

STR revenue here is a real managed comp we run in this building — managed comp (two PMB-managed 1BR units in this tower), not a generic estimate.

Managed 1BR in the same building — measuredTrailing 12 mo
Occupancy (owner-blocked nights included)72%
Average daily rate$313
Gross revenue measured — the base case$82,400
What sits above and below the base

Upside: both owners block the unit for their own stays; the ledger shows 72% booked. Released to a pure investor rental, those nights add about 20% of revenue. At ~87% that is $98,800 gross, the optimistic case (the same units with the owners' own stays released). Conservative case: booking income only, without cancellation fees and resolution payouts, $77,900.

Annual pro-forma — base case

Professionally-managed short-term rental. Base revenue $82,400.

Gross STR revenue$82,400
Professional STR management (20%)−$16,480
HOA ($1,700 × 12)−$20,400
Property tax (est., see below)−$11,700
Insurance (condo, STR)−$2,000
Cleaning (guest-paid, pass-through)−$6,200
Utilities + internet−$1,200
Supplies, turnover, reserves (~4%)−$3,296
Net operating income (NOI)$21,124

Unlevered cap rate = $21,124 ÷ $585,000 = 3.6%.

Assumptions & disclosures

Revenue from managed comp (two PMB-managed 1BR units in this tower). Cap rates are honest, unlevered NOI ÷ price (3.0% / 3.6% / 5.7%). 25%-down case uses a $438,750 mortgage (75% LTV, 7.25%, 30-yr); rates vary by lender.
  • Florida short-term-rental taxes (~13%) — Miami-Dade tourist + state sales tax — are collected from the guest and remitted; not an owner expense above but filed on every stay.
  • Property tax is estimated — the county currently bills $9,417 on this property, a homestead-capped or land-only assessment that does not transfer to a buyer. The pro-forma uses 2.0% of price (a non-homestead sale reassesses to about market); the county's first full bill may differ. Verify with the Property Appraiser.
  • No appreciation assumed in the yield figures. Not tax or lending advice — verify with your CPA and lender.
