Summary
A developer says this property gets a 15.4% gross yield… but does it actually stack up? In this episode, Ed and Andrew break down a real-world Airbnb deal in Queenstown to show how headline numbers can look incredible... until you dig into the assumptions behind them. You’ll learn: How a 15.4% yield is calculated Whether the numbers check out… or are just a flat-out fabrication Why looking at net yield (not gross) gives a much clearer picture What this really comes down to: the numbers aren’t always wrong… but they’re often presented in a way that makes them look better than they are. If you don’t run the full calculation yourself, it’s easy to be misled. Book a meeting to start your path to financial freedom with a detailed financial plan for $0.
