Two 40% occupancy STR (Short Term Rental) scenarios shown using a projected 2029 inflation-adjusted operating load.
Compare projected Net Cash Flow after debt using 2029 inflation-adjusted cost base and two ADR scenarios.
Breakeven shifts from 47.1% (ADR $225) to 41.5% (ADR $255).
Modeled on comparable Cape Coral vacation home data (2029 projection). While demand for leisure travel remains strong, operating costs in Florida have outpaced achievable nightly rates for non-pool homes. Even with strong reviews, STR performance would require 40–50% occupancy to break even after debt service.
Conclusion: STR not feasible at this time due to required occupancy above 40% for breakeven. Market saturation and insurance costs further limit profitability.
Converting to a furnished mid-term rental aligns with FAZY’s long-term compounding goals. This model targets traveling professionals and contract workers seeking 3–6-month stays, reducing turnover costs and maintaining strong occupancy with fewer management burdens.
Conclusion: Mid-term rental offers sustainable positive cash flow, retains 3.75% mortgage, and aligns with FAZY’s passive wealth-building strategy through depreciation and future 1031 potential. Even with realistic vacancy (≈18%), this approach provides steady returns and long-term equity growth.
After evaluation, FAZY Holdings projects implementing the Mid-Term Rental (MTR) strategy for Big Pine Retreat. The property’s low fixed-rate debt, strong healthcare staffing demand, and eligibility for depreciation make it ideal for stable, tax-efficient income within FAZY’s portfolio.
