For Airbnb-style plays, occupancy under 65% means the building or the listing isn’t tuned. We can tell you which it is.

How to read these numbers

Net yield is the only number that matters.

Listings advertise gross yield because it's bigger. But you don't pay HOA, property tax, management, or vacancy out of gross — you pay them out of net. That's the cashflow you'll actually see.

The occupancy slider is the most sensitive variable here. Move it from 80% to 60% and a great property turns into a break-even property. Be honest with yourself about what the building will actually do.

When this checks out

When the numbers tend to hold

  • Long-term lease (occupancy = 100%) in Laureles or Envigado — predictable, low management overhead.
  • Furnished short-term rental in El Poblado / Provenza — high gross, but you need a real cleaning + management team.
  • Building has been Airbnb-friendly for 12+ months (regulations and HOA rules can change).
When the math is lying to you

When you're being optimistic

  • Airbnb at 80%+ occupancy in a 50-unit building — that level of demand isn't sustainable across many similar listings.
  • Excluding management fees because 'I'll do it myself' — you won't, and if you do, your time is the expense you're hiding.
  • Counting on regulatory stability — Medellín's short-term rental rules have shifted twice in the past five years.
