I need help! Opportunity in hand but I am fearful
We have a property manager willing to lease us a single unit apartment for $1600/Month unfurnished. Wifi would be around $50-70. I think we could get it furnished for around $1500.
There is 3 other single unit apartments in our area on Airbnb for $110/night flat. We do not live in a "destination location" per say.
Do these numbers work?
Our city says OWNERS are require to have a business license, and pay a 10% tax on rentals, and a short term vacation rental permit. We aren't technically owners of the property though, what should we do?
What else aren't we considering?
Thank you for all replies.

So the place will probably cost you $2000 a month. With 100% occupancy (which is unrealistic) you'd gross around $3000 a month. Then you have to pay someone to clean it and restock it, that'll be about $500. Then you have taxes. So you'd gross about $250 a month with 100% occupancy. Suppose for 3 or more nights in a month the place is vacant (this is realistic). Now you're losing money.
