Get a Short-Term Rental Proforma Before You Purchase
Buying a property to use as a rental is different than buying a primary home. Before you commit, we can help you understand the rental potential with a clear, realistic proforma.What a proforma can include:
Estimated revenue potential based on comparable rentals and seasonality
Expense considerations (cleaning, utilities, maintenance, taxes, insurance, etc.)
Practical notes on guest appeal: layout, parking, access, storage, and amenities
Suggestions for improvements that can move the needle (and what isn’t worth it)
Real Estate Support for Second-Home & Rental Buyers
Buyer representation + local guidance (Boardwalk Owner, Tim, is a licensed broker)
STR-focused property evaluation
Rental readiness planning (what guests expect, what performs locally)
Pricing/positioning insight for properties intended as vacation rentals

With 15+ years in the Manistee County market and deep relationships across the local service ecosystem, we help buyers and sellers make smarter decisions — especially when the goal is a second home or a high-performing vacation rental.
