The numbers · financing

What it looks like at 20% down.

Purchase $1,325,000 · Down $265,000 · 4.50% five-year fixed, 25-year amortization, A-lender (July 2026) · $5,867/mo on a $1,060,000 loan.

Year 1 actuals + financing	Self-managed	Managed ($1,000/mo)
Owner net before financing	$105,113	$93,113
Mortgage (principal + interest)	−$70,402	−$70,402

Principal paydown (Year 1)	+$23,622	+$23,622
Total Year 1 gain (excl. appreciation)	$58,333	$46,333

Rate context

Modeled at 4.50%. Best available conventional five-year fixed in July 2026 was 3.94%, which drops the payment to $5,541/mo and adds about $3,900/yr in cash flow. A 30-year amortization at 4.50% drops it to $5,345/mo.

Owner-occupied option

The three-listing design lets you live in one suite and operate the other, which may open owner-occupied financing programs. Talk to your mortgage broker about what applies to you.

Forced equity

$23,622 of Year 1 mortgage payments goes to principal. That is equity building on top of the cash flow.

The operator behind this property

A decade of proven results.

You are not buying from a first-time operator. This asset was built by Braydon Ross (Mrairbnb) and the Ross Stays team, with documented results across five-plus countries.

July 2017

One property. Calgary. Age 21.

Bought his first property at 21, closed at 22, launched on Airbnb. Cold-called landlords on Rentfaster for rental arbitrage. The obsession with hospitality operations started here.

2019

The hotel model nobody saw coming.

Identified a 70+ unit boutique hotel in Edmonton and connected the Cloudbeds PMS directly to Airbnb, among the first globally at that scale.

2019 to present

The Mrairbnb brand.

One of the largest hospitality-focused audiences globally. Podcasts, news, television, hundreds of millions of impressions. A single reel about this property: 271,982 views.

Global expansion

Multi-billion dollar resort portfolios.

Operated 4,000+ units across 10+ luxury resorts in Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, Cancun, Dominican Republic and St. Barths. Among the first to fully integrate Airbnb into five-star resorts.

2023

Casa YYC: #2 in Calgary 3BR.

Co-acquired and operated from day one. #2 of all 3BR listings in Calgary, top 20 overall of 6,000+. 180+ reviews, 4.85 Superhost.

2024

Seoul: top 1%, managed remotely.

10-unit boutique hotel in Seoul. Top 1% of 15,000+ units, 2 to 3× long-term rental income, managed entirely from Calgary.

July 2025

This property: zero to #1 in 12 months.

Launched into Stampede week with zero reviews and no booking runway. Twelve months later: $182K gross, #1 of 5,500+ Calgary listings, three Guest Favourite listings, 110+ reviews.

Frequently asked

Straight answers before you buy.

What exactly am I buying at $1,325,000?

The property, turnkey, with title 100% in your name. Fully furnished, guest ready, hot tub included. The operating side comes with it: the three-listing setup, pricing structure, guest playbooks and the team relationships that produced $182K in year one. Nothing to build. It earns from day one.

Is the revenue real? How do I verify it?

Three ways, none of which rely on us. Official Airbnb and VRBO reports ($182,654 gross, $159,959 paid out). AirDNA's independent tracking ($194.4K trailing), which the seller does not control. And three live listings with readable reviews. The full Year 1 Combined Earnings Report is in the buyer's package.

What happens to the listings, reviews and rankings when it sells?

The transition is structured so the machine keeps running. The team stays, the systems stay, and confirmed bookings carry through the sale so revenue continues without a gap. The exact listing mechanics for whichever path you choose are laid out step by step in the buyer's package.

What does $1,000/mo management actually include?

Full-service operation by the team that built this to #1: guest communication, pricing, the synchronized three-listing calendar and turnover coordination. Cleaning is per stay at cost with no markup, and is largely covered by guest cleaning fees. Industry rate on this revenue would be $36,500 to $54,800 a year. You pay $12,000.

Can I self-manage instead?

Yes. Budget three to five hours a week with the systems already built. The cleaning and maintenance team stays either way. You can also start managed at $1,000/mo and take over later once you know the machine.

Do I have to run it as three listings?

No, and that is the point of the design. Run it as the full house, as two suites separately, or all three with a synchronized calendar, which is how it runs today and how it books slow-season nights that comps miss. You can also live in one suite and operate the other, which may open owner-occupied financing. Talk to your broker.

What about bookings already on the calendar?

August 2026 is already 88% ahead of last August's final gross on confirmed reservations alone. Future bookings are part of the transition plan, so the calendar you see is the calendar you receive.

Why sell Calgary's #1 revenue Airbnb?

Capital redeployment, not performance. Ross Stays is moving capital into larger hospitality acquisitions. The property is worth more to a buyer holding it than as a line on the seller's balance sheet. Year 2 momentum is on this page because there is nothing to hide about the direction.

Is short-term rental use licensed and allowed here?

Yes. The property operates today under City of Calgary short-term rental business licences BL293593 and BL294371. Licences are not transferable, so as the new owner you obtain your own. It is a straightforward process the seller walks you through as part of the transition.

How do I move forward?

Get the buyer's package: full books, expense detail and the transition plan. Review it, walk the property, bring an offer. Text or call Shawn at 587-891-6069 or email Shawn@gettygroup.ca.
