Business-purpose investment financing. Options are subject to lender and property review.

Underwrite the income behind the booking calendar

Short-term rental income can fluctuate by season, occupancy, and management costs. Bring actual operating history where available and distinguish gross bookings from cash remaining after expenses. Pillar can review whether an available lender accepts the income approach for your property; projected bookings alone do not establish eligibility.

Check the property before choosing the financing

Review local operating permissions, association restrictions, insurance, and the permitted use of the property. A property's ability to operate as a short-term rental and a lender's willingness to finance it are separate questions. Do not assume an Airbnb listing establishes either.

Purchase or refinance with a realistic fallback

For a purchase, compare the acquisition price and your liquidity with a conservative rental plan. For a refinance, include your payoff and any prepayment costs. Reviewing long-term rental cash flow alongside short-term performance can clarify the risk if bookings decline.

Questions before you apply

Does Pillar guarantee Airbnb financing?

No. Short-term rental eligibility and accepted income documentation vary by lender, location, and property. An advisor must confirm a supported program for your scenario.

Should I use gross bookings in the DSCR calculator?

Use the rent or income assumption your advisor confirms is appropriate. Gross bookings may differ materially from the income a lender accepts; calculator results are planning estimates.
