Revenue Concentration Risk
Trailing 12 months · Keydata
⚠ Concentration Risk: 61% of verified comparable revenue occurs in June–August. A poor summer season, hurricane disruption, or late booking year compresses annual returns significantly. The listing agent's pro-forma uses peak-season occupancy rates applied year-round — a methodology that overstates annual revenue by an estimated 22–28%.
🚩
Pro-Forma Revenue Inflation — High Confidence
Listing agent claims $138,000 annual STR revenue. Keydata 365-day trailing average for 4BR comparables within 400m is $100,420. Estimated gap: $37,580 (27%). Inflated figure appears to apply summer ADR of $485/night to 285 nights — actual blended ADR for this comp set is $312/night at 71% annual occupancy.

⚠️
HOA Fee Not Disclosed in Listing
Naturewalk at Seagrove HOA carries monthly fees of $485/mo ($5,820/yr). This figure is absent from the seller's operating expense sheet. Including it drops the stated cap rate from 6.8% to 5.9% — moving it from "good" to "borderline" territory by standard underwriting benchmarks.

⚠️
Coastal Insurance Estimate Understated
Listing pro-forma uses $8,400/yr for insurance. Post-2022 coastal Florida market for this property profile runs $14,000–$18,500/yr. Using midpoint ($16,250) adds $7,850 to annual expenses versus stated figure.
