Keep in mind that we are still in the Rental Home business in Texas. You found an existing building or land and can grow faster than the Industry average. Porter’s Generic Model of Competition has helped you pin point an entry wedge with unique customers.
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to test the money aspect of the business. This will determine if we have a business, a pipe dream, or a hobby. This assignment will explain the differences between 1) cost and price, and 2) customer vs target market. Remember that each box above has a unique cost structure, pricing, target market, brand image, supply chain, and customer expectations. Once again, we shop at Walmart for painting clothes for a reason.
Mechanics
Use the Google Sheets spreadsheet I provided in an attachment. You will need to change the numbers to fit your situation. I have also inserted the typical averages for certain categories (in the cells) as per the industry report. The numbers in the cells should change as you change the revenue number. There is no need for you to find these on your own.
Next, you must determine the average sale per customer ( i.e. Avg Rent per month) for your rental home concept. i.e. Do you have variable pricing due to seasonal fluctuations if you are in a college town?
Assignment
Now, explain to me in a Word document where and how the numbers were derived. Also, share if you will be above industry averages or below and how/ why. i.e. Assume you are able to put 20% down for a loan. Then finance the rest. Think about what money will be coming in vs what you will have in expenses. The point here is to make you aware of what it takes to run a successful rental business.
