Seasonal properties need a clear view of when money arrives and when costs fall due. Build a rolling cash schedule rather than relying only on annual revenue estimates.
A practical approach
- List expected receipts by timing.
- Include recurring and planned property payments.
- Update assumptions when reservations change.
An example to consider
A property can look profitable over a year yet have a cash shortage before the busy season. Preparation costs and deposit timing deserve explicit attention.
What to track
Monitor forecast cash against actual receipts and payments.
