- "Immediate In-Place Income with Turnkey Hospitality Conversion Upside." Because all heavy capital expenditures—most notably the underground PVC re-piping, 2020 impact glass, new electrical, and roof work—are 100% complete, an investor incurs zero initial CapEx while optimizing revenue through short-term rental (STR) operations.
Property Description
Financial Assumptions for the STR Pro Forma
1. Revenue Drivers
● Conservative STR: 72% average annual occupancy (high season ~85–90%, low season ~55–60%).
○ 4x 1/1s: $150/night $times$ 365 days $times$ 0.72 = $39,420/yr per unit.
○ 2x 2/1s: $225/night $times$ 365 days $times$ 0.72 = $59,130/yr per unit.
● Max Optimized STR: Higher ADRs driven by professional design, pool/amenity additions, and dynamic pricing tools (Price Labs/Wheelhouse).
○ Includes ~$6,000/year in ancillary income (pet fees, early check-in/late check-out fees, laundry).
2. Expense Adjustments (STR-Specific)
● Property Taxes & Insurance: Retained at re-assessed estimates ($45,000 taxes + $20,000 adjusted commercial lodging/STR insurance rider).
● Utilities (Owner Paid): Increased to $12,000–$13,500/yr to cover FPL, water, high-speed Wi-Fi, and TV streaming subscriptions across 6 units.
● Cleaning Fees: Structured as a pass-through cost (paid directly by guests via booking platforms).
● Management & Tech Stack: Budgeted at 12–15% for automated operations or third-party co-hosting software.
1. Highlight the DSCR Turnaround: LTR, the property fails traditional DSCR financing (0.46x). Under the optimized STR model, DSCR jumps to 1.61x, opening up commercial STR/DSCR loan options.
2. Initial Capex ROI: $75,000–$90,000 Turnkey Conversion Budget ($10k–$12k per unit for commercial-grade furniture, digital locks, decor, and outdoor amenities). Show that this single upfront investment transforms a $60k/year cash loss into a ~$68k/year positive yield.
3. Location Advantage: Dania Beach allows for streamlined municipal short-term rental registration, positioning this asset to capture high-volume airport layover and pre/post-cruise demand.
