capital expenditures ($422,000 total) This model shows you can move from a near break-even EBITDA of $57,000 in Year 1 (2026) to $666,000 by Year 3, driven primarily by increasing occupancy from 450% to 650% The key levers are dynamic pricing, maximizing non-rental income (like Bar Revenue, projected to hit $9,800\/month by 2030), and relentless cost control We map out seven actionable strategies
