Frequently asked questions
- What's a good cash-on-cash return for a vacation rental?
- 8–15% is solid; 15%+ is excellent. Anything under 6% rarely justifies the operational work of an STR.
- Is cap rate or cash-on-cash more important?
- Cap rate compares properties regardless of financing. Cash-on-cash reflects your actual return given your loan.
