Homeowner churn tells a buyer something about the stability of future revenue.
If you consistently lose 20% of your homeowners every year, a buyer has to replace that revenue just to stand still.
That’s expensive.
If your retention rate is excellent, your buyer has a much more predictable revenue stream.
And predictability is valuable.
A vacation rental management company isn’t valued simply by taking the gross rental revenue and applying a percentage. Buyers are generally much more interested in the cash flow the management company actually produces.
They sell courses promising to teach everyday people how to buy a business using “other people’s money,” leveraging sophisticated deal structures to acquire wealth overnight. The problem? The playbooks these influencers are selling are built for middle-market private equity deals, not Main Street businesses.
Middle market entities remained generally optimistic about meeting their yearly objectives, whereas small business confidence reached a state of caution and uncertainty.
