This calculator models a short-term rental deal using your own numbers. Enter a purchase price, financing terms, and expected monthly gross booking revenue, and it estimates cap rate, cash-on-cash return, and a 25-year cash flow, appreciation, and equity projection — the same underlying model JZ Vacation Rentals uses across its managed portfolio, run against assumptions you control.
Assumes 25% operating expenses, 5% vacancy — typical for a managed STR.
This is an illustrative scenario only. Results depend on your inputs and the calculator's default assumptions. It is not a forecast or investment, tax, or legal advice.

Loved our stay at this property and the property management company had everything well taken care of!!! Would happily stay at this property or with JZ Vacation Rentals again!!
JZ Vacation Rentals helped us with our most recent stay in St Louis. The property was exactly as advertised and JZ communicated quickly to all our questions! Highly recommend and would definitely book through them again!
JZ Vacation Rentals is by far the best rental agency out there!!! Their luxurious homes make you feel right at home. So cozy and beautiful. They have everything you can imagine to make your stay convenient.
Lovely home, plenty of room, clean and well stocked. We had a great time in STL and staying in this home. This is our second stay with JZ Vacation Rentals and both times have been great.
We were very happy with our place. It was perfect for our large family and was in a great location. A few questions we had for JZ Vacation Rentals during our stay were always answered promptly.
Great experience with JZ Vacation Rentals. House was perfect for our large mixed-age group. Descriptions were accurate as was the location. Highly recommend.
