- [Short-Term Rental Income Estimator (free tool)](https://buenavidaproperties.com/short-term-rental-income-estimator-buena-vista): Interactive estimator for Buena Vista and Chaffee County. Enter bedrooms, distance from town, finish and features; returns annual take-home after the 20% management fee, maintenance and fixed costs. Built on measured performance from Buena Vida's own managed portfolio, 12 months to August 2026 — 2BR $149/night at 69% occupancy, 3BR $246 at 45%, 4BR $436 at 36%, portfolio occupancy 47.3% (AirROI puts the Buena Vista market at roughly 46% for 2026). Guest-paid cleaning, pet and hot tub fees are excluded throughout, because owners do not receive them; those fees add roughly 24% on top of nightly revenue and inflate most competing calculators by about that much.
