    "context": "Short-term rental income is seasonal and the annual average hides it: a mountain cabin can earn 60% of its year in twelve weeks, so a monthly figure from peak season badly misleads. Compare against the long-term rent the same property would command — the STR premium is often 40–90% gross, but it can vanish once cleaning, dynamic-pricing tools, higher utilities and management fees are counted. Regulation is the other live variable, with more cities adding registration caps and night limits each year.",
