* Co-hosting — “owner net”: the owner pays our management commission (20% of gross revenue) out of the booking income, and running costs come off after that. Everything left is what the owner keeps — we only earn when they do.
** Rental arbitrage — “operator profit”: we lease the property long-term and pay the landlord that fixed rent every month, guaranteed, regardless of occupancy. What we earn is whatever the short let makes above that rent after running costs — the “operator profit” column is our income and our risk, not the owner's.
