Frequently asked questions
How accurate is this STR calculator?
This calculator uses your inputs directly — it does not pull live market data. Accuracy depends on how realistic your ADR and occupancy assumptions are. For verified market data, use Underwrite's full analysis which pulls live Airbnb comps for your specific address.
What is a good cash-on-cash return for a short-term rental?
Most STR investors target 8–12% cash-on-cash return. Above 12% is considered excellent. Below 6% may not justify the operational complexity vs. a long-term rental.
What DSCR do lenders require for STR investment loans?
Most DSCR lenders require a minimum ratio of 1.0–1.25, meaning the property generates at least 100–125% of its debt service from income. A DSCR above 1.25 significantly improves loan approval odds and rate terms.
What operating expense ratio should I use?
STR operating expenses typically run 35–55% of gross revenue, depending on whether you self-manage (lower) or use a property manager (higher). The default 42% reflects self-managed properties in active markets.
Does this calculator account for taxes and depreciation?
No — this is a pre-tax cash flow model. It does not include income taxes, depreciation, or cost segregation benefits. Underwrite's full analysis includes a dedicated tax savings module.
