शॉर्ट-टर्म बनाम लॉन्ग-टर्म रेंटल इनकम तुलना

The portion of utilities — electricity, water, internet, streaming, trash — that you cover as the host and wouldn't typically pay under a long-term lease where the tenant usually covers their own usage. Estimate the extra amount above what a long-term tenant's usage would run you.

Even stable long-term rentals sit empty between tenants occasionally — during turnover, re-listing, or a slow rental market. A vacancy allowance (often 3–8% of annual rent, but it varies by market) accounts for that lost income realistically rather than assuming 100% occupancy every single month.

No — if you plan to self-manage the long-term lease, set the management fee to 0%. The field exists because many landlords do use a property manager, which is itself a real cost worth comparing against the effort of short-term hosting.

Not automatically. A higher net number is a real point in favor of short-term renting, but you should also weigh the extra time commitment, the unpredictability of month-to-month bookings, and whether your local regulations currently allow (or might soon restrict) short-term rentals at your property before deciding.
