Accurate ROI Projections for Melaka Airbnb Investments

Considering an Airbnb investment in Melaka? Making informed decisions requires accurate financial projections, not guesswork. After managing 100+ properties across Melaka for 8 years, iHousing has developed a comprehensive investment calculator based on real performance data, not optimistic assumptions.

Our free Airbnb investment calculator helps you:

• Calculate realistic ROI based on actual Melaka occupancy rates
• Compare potential returns across different neighborhoods
• Estimate monthly cash flow and annual profit
• Understand the impact of management fees on your returns
• Model different scenarios (optimistic, realistic, conservative)

Why Most Calculators Get It Wrong

Generic online calculators often use flawed assumptions:

• Nationwide averages: Apply KL/Penang rates to Melaka (wrong)
• 100% occupancy assumption: Unrealistic for any market
• Ignoring seasonality: Melaka has distinct peak/off-peak periods
• Overlooking expenses: Maintenance, cleaning, utilities add up
• Management fee impact: Commission structures significantly reduce returns

iHousing's calculator uses real Melaka data from 100+ properties over 8 years.
