Which Nashville neighborhood has the highest Airbnb revenue?

SoBro and The Gulch consistently command the highest ADR ($225 to $400/night) and occupancy (70% to 82%), driven by walkability to Broadway, convention traffic, and luxury inventory. East Nashville and Germantown offer the best revenue-per-dollar-of-acquisition because property prices are lower while occupancy stays strong year-round.

What is a realistic occupancy rate for a Nashville STR?

65% to 80% annual occupancy is typical for a well-managed Nashville short-term rental. Properties below 60% are usually underpriced, poorly photographed, or non-compliant with permit requirements. Misfit Homes-managed properties average 72%+ across the portfolio.

How is annual revenue calculated?

Gross annual revenue ≈ ADR × Occupancy × 365. The ranges on this page show low-end and high-end scenarios. Net revenue depends on management fees, cleaning fees passed to guests, platform fees, taxes, and operating expenses.
