Preparing a proposal for a new owner or property can be one of the most time consuming, critical and common tasks that a property manager or sales manager has to face day to day. In this article we are going to show you how to use our vacation rental revenue estimator template for calculating potential property return and building solid client proposals.

The context for our vacation rental revenue estimator
The challenge with evaluating investments or preparing a client proposal is to estimate the potential return of a property if used as short-term rental. This is now even harder because of the market reality resulting from the Covid-19 crisis (see vacation rental recovery tracker).
So we created a vacation rental revenue estimator to calculate potential return and build solid, branded client proposals.
The objective of our vacation rental revenue estimator
So you can make informed decisions and client proposals based on Transparent official 2019 estimated revenues of similar properties.
