Define "severely". There's no question it would increase the number, but by how much?
If the average vacancy rate was say 50% over the course of a year, it would double the number to about $18 per night per unit, or about $126 per week. At 75% it would be $27 per night or $189 per week, which is certainly more significant. From comments here on this forum I know that there seem to be many times when BSV is sold out. I haven't stayed at BSV, so I'm not fully familiar with their actual weekly or nightly rates. Obviously it will also depend upon the individual renter, as what is severe to some may not be to others.
I'm certainly open to a better estimate if anyone has more accurate numbers.
The point of the exercise was simply to point out that $200,000 sounds like a big number, and it's certainly a significant expenditure. But that is often the case in situations where aggregate numbers are quoted. But when they are broken down into individual numbers they are often not quite so scary.
