🏝️ Top 3 Vacation Rental KPIs Every Kauai Buyer Should Know (Video)
Tracking vacation rental success starts with the right metrics. In this video, I walk through the three most important KPIs every Kauai condo buyer should know before pulling the trigger — especially if you’re eyeing Airbnb potential. These apply whether you’re looking at Poipu, Princeville, or somewhere in between.
📊 Average Daily Rate (ADR) — What It Is and Why It Matters (Video)
ADR is one of the simplest, most powerful metrics for gauging income potential. In this video, I explain what ADR means, how it’s calculated, and how it affects short-term rental performance on Kauai. If you’re comparing complexes or locations, this metric is key.
📈 Occupancy Rate Explained — The Real Driver of STR Performance (Video)
Kauai occupancy rates can vary by neighborhood, unit type, and even month to month. Here’s how I look at occupancy as a STR investor, what healthy rates look like, and how to factor this into your buying decision.
💰 RevPAR — The Ultimate Revenue KPI (and Why It’s Underrated) (Video)
RevPAR blends both occupancy and rate into one key number. It’s what pros use to evaluate performance — and in this video, I break down exactly how to think about RevPAR if you’re buying for income. I also share a few real-world examples from Kauai.
