Revenue trails nearby Airbnbs — check pricing and how you run it
Trailing revenue runs below the Playa Flamingo average ($42k/yr). Usual fixes: stale pricing calendar, long min-stays, weak lead photos, or missing amenities guests pay for (pool, A/C, fast Wi-Fi, workspace). Owners who use the property themselves can also lower income — and that can throw off our reading.
