π° The Numbers (This Is Where It Gets Interesting)
Modeled Scenario:
Nightly Rate: $1,650
Occupancy: ~50% (182 nights/year)
Purchase Price: ~$2.5M
Performance:
β ~$78K pre-tax cash flow
β ~15.6% cash-on-cash return
β Break-even occupancy: ~35%
And the big one:
π ~$220K+ after-tax cash flow (Year 1)

π― Why This One Is So Powerful
1. π’ Corporate Retreat Angle (Underserved Market)

β Stay longer
β Pay more
β Book consistently
2. π True Lakefront + Scale (Rare Combo)
Most lake homes are:
Smaller
Less functional for groups

π Built to host at scale
Thatβs where the money is.
3. π Expansion Potential
Subdividable
Ability to add 2 more cabins
Additional land/lakeshore available
π This could evolve into a full luxury resort play
π Current Positioning
Currently priced at $1,450/night
Early testing shows $1,650+ achievable
π This is already working β just not fully optimized
