BNB Startup Rental Evaluator

Make Smarter Investment Decisions — Before You Buy

Compare Properties, See the Full Picture

Before you fall in love with a property, make sure the numbers love you back.
The BNB Startup Rental Evaluator helps you compare multiple properties side by side, adjusting for your down payment percentage and current interest rates to see what really makes the best financial sense.

This tool doesn’t stop at purchase price — it factors in the details that often get missed: utilities, cleaning, maintenance, insurance, and all the other “little” bills that add up fast.


Real Data, Real Results

Let’s face it — pulling this information together on your own can be a headache. Finding reliable data sources for expenses, appreciation, or local taxes takes time (and experience).

That’s why this document includes links to trusted sites I personally use to gather inputs like:

  • Local property tax and insurance estimates

  • Market rent comparables

  • Short-term rental performance insights

  • Average utility costs

You’ll spend less time digging for numbers and more time making smart, confident decisions.


Learn From My Mistakes — So You Don’t Repeat Them

When I purchased my first property, I missed a few basic expenses and underestimated others. That oversight left me with a lower ROI than expected — and a hard lesson learned.

The BNB Startup Rental Evaluator is designed to help you avoid those same surprises by giving you a clear, accurate view of your real returns before you commit.


CAP Rate. Cash-on-Cash. Confidence.

This evaluator gives you the key financial indicators that matter most to investors:

  • CAP Rate — how efficiently your property generates income relative to its value.

  • Cash-on-Cash Return — your true profit based on the money you actually invest.

Adjust your down payment, interest rate, and loan terms to see exactly how those decisions affect your returns. It’s like having an investment simulator that helps you find your sweet spot before you sign a single paper.


Why This Tool Matters

Most hosts and investors build spreadsheets that look impressive but miss critical costs. This one is different.
It’s built to reflect real-world scenarios — the kind that come with actual mortgages, fluctuating interest rates, and the realities of running a short-term rental.

This tool helps you:
✅ Compare multiple properties side by side
✅ Visualize how small changes impact your returns
✅ Avoid overlooked expenses that destroy profitability
✅ See the most advantageous way to use your investment capital
