Adding multi-year ramps and escalations to projections

STRs rarely hit their full stride on day one. With SummerOS, you can model onboarding ramp-ups and long-term revenue growth across a 3-year horizon while building your revenue projections.

Find the full video on building revenue projections from start to finish below, or keep reading to learn more about this aspect of projecting revenue.



1. Set Your Start Date

• Choose when you expect the listing to go live (e.g., August 1, 2025).
• This start date anchors your projection and seasonal alignment.

2. Add a Ramp-Up Period

• Click Add Ramp to model a gradual build to full performance.
• Choose a ramp duration (e.g., 6 months).
• Set your ramp starting point (e.g., 50% of your target revenue in Month 1).

SummerOS will interpolate growth over the ramp period to reach your full annual projection.

3. Define Escalation Rates

• Apply year-over-year revenue growth (e.g., 2–3% annually).
• Use this to reflect pricing power, occupancy gains, or market appreciation over time.

4. Preview the 3-Year Forecast

• The tool now generates revenue projections for Year 1, 2, and 3.
• Each year reflects your ramp curve and escalation assumptions.

5. Adjust as Needed

• You can always return to this section to tweak:
  • Ramp duration or intensity
  • Start date
  • Growth rates
