STR Advisory

Rental platforms & financing

Different rental platforms.
One property decision.

Research an Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com or Furnished Finder property. Compare income assumptions, estimated financing and supporting evidence for your purchase or refinance.

Free registration required to view estimated rates and save your research. No sales call required. Contact our team when you choose. Estimates are subject to lender review.

Choose the guide that matches your rental operation.

The booking channel helps explain your income. Stay length, actual revenue, local rental rules and lender requirements determine how the property can be evaluated.

Airbnb

Review nightly or monthly rental assumptions, payout history and the income needed to support a proposed loan.

Explore Airbnb financing

Vrbo

Organize booking and payout records, account for seasonality, and compare purchase or refinance structures.

Explore Vrbo financing

Mid-term rentals

Review furnished stays and direct agreements. Accepted income evidence and stay-length rules vary by location and program.

Explore mid-term rental financing

Booking.com

Bring together booking, cancellation and payment records. A reviewer can assess how the evidence fits an eligible program.

Explore Booking.com financing

Long-term rentals

Compare lease income, market rent, operating costs and financing assumptions. A lease alone does not guarantee qualification.

Analyze before you apply

See what the property must earn.

Review available rental-market evidence, test income assumptions and understand estimated debt coverage. Compare the income you expect with the income needed for the proposed financing.

  • Verify the address and intended rental use.
  • Separate documented income from projected market income.
  • Test seasonal or lower-income scenarios.
  • Save the property and the assumptions behind the decision.

Data coverage varies by market and property. This STR research example does not demonstrate integrations with every booking platform.

Understand financing structures

Your goal changes the comparison.

Rate-and-term refinance

Compare your existing loan with a potential replacement, including closing costs and existing prepayment obligations.

Review refinance considerations

Cash out or portfolio growth

Consider proceeds, retained equity, debt payments and cash flow before committing capital to another purchase.

Review portfolio decisions

Compare the tradeoffs

Cash preserved. Payment changed. Risk understood.

Compare available down payments, leverage, preliminary rates, points and prepayment structures. A lower payment may require more cash up front; lower initial costs may come with another tradeoff.

Save an option alongside the property so a reviewer can see your assumptions.

Check Rates

Turn rental activity into reviewable evidence.

For an existing rental, organize records by property and period. Reconcile revenue across channels so the same booking is not counted twice.

  • Booking and payout statements with property identifiers.
  • Leases or rental agreements where applicable.
  • Cancellation, refund and fee details explaining totals.
  • Loan statements, taxes, insurance and association dues.
  • Local rental permissions and relevant restrictions.
Review property documentation

Buying without operating history?

Start with available market evidence and clearly labeled projections. Include occupancy, pricing, expense and permitted-use assumptions.

The lender determines accepted evidence and qualifying income. A projected result does not establish eligibility.

DSCR is part of the decision.

DSCR compares qualifying income with the lender-defined payment obligation. Your operating cash flow also depends on management, utilities, maintenance, vacancy and other costs.

Understand the terms

Request human review when you are ready.

Save your analysis and preferred financing option first. Our team can review the package, identify missing information and discuss eligible next steps.

Questions about platforms and financing

Does Airbnb or Vrbo make a property eligible?

No. Eligibility depends on property use, income evidence, borrower profile, ownership, location and lender requirements.

Can I use revenue from several booking channels?

Organize the records for review, avoid duplicate revenue and explain discrepancies. The lender determines accepted evidence and adjustments.

Can projected income support a purchase?

Some programs may consider approved rental-income or market-rent evidence. Availability and calculation methods vary. Platform projections remain preliminary planning information.

Does STR Advisory connect to my booking account?

This page does not promise a booking-account integration. Use available property research and organize supporting records for review. Confirm any connection in the application before relying on it.

Is STR Advisory affiliated with these rental platforms?

STR Advisory is independent of Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Furnished Finder. Their names identify rental channels and do not imply sponsorship, endorsement or a lending partnership.
