Does it compare gross revenue or net profit?
Both are shown, but the decision is based on net after costs. A second result also deducts the value of owner time.
GATAVIA · RENTAL STRATEGY COMPARATOR
More revenue does not mean more profit. And more work does not either.
The same property can produce three very different outcomes as short-term, mid-term or long-term rental. Compare them under the same economic rules: revenue, costs, stability and the value of your time.
The mistake this prevents
•Comparing short-term gross revenue with annual rent as if they were equivalent.
•Treating owner time as free.
•Choosing a strategy without knowing the occupancy, average nightly rate or monthly rent that would change the decision.
The Gatavia solution
Enter the real assumptions for the three models. Gatavia returns the cash winner, the economic winner after valuing time, a stress test and the exact thresholds where the decision flips.

How we calculate it
We compare annual revenue, fees, variable costs, turnovers, fixed costs and estimated tax. Workload is indicative and does not change the economic net.
This does not decide for you: tax, regulation, community rules, default risk and your availability can change the decision.
Short-term, mid-term and long-term rental FAQ
Can a different strategy win after valuing my time?
Yes. The calculator deliberately separates cash profit from economic profit after owner time.
Does it calculate the occupancy needed to win?
Yes. It solves the occupancy and average nightly rate required to beat the best alternative.
Does it include tax?
Not automatically. Tax varies significantly by country and personal structure, so results are before personal tax.
