Investment Property Calculator

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 based on your inputs and the model's default assumptions.

Example Report

What your 25-year projection looks like

A sample scenario, not a listed property: a $300,000 purchase with 25% down at 7.0% over 30 years, earning $3,500 a month in gross booking revenue. Each bar adds up cash flow, loan principal paid down, appreciation and an estimated tax benefit for that year.

Run your own numbers

The model uses default assumptions of 25% operating expenses and 5% vacancy. These are illustrative assumptions, not verified costs or occupancy for a listed property.

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.
