STR Investment Decision Analyzer – Short-Term Rental Deal Analysis Excel Template

Thinking about buying a property for Airbnb or short-term rental? Run the numbers before you buy.

A property can look profitable on paper — until you factor in seasonality, operating expenses, financing, vacancies, unexpected costs, and weaker-than-expected bookings.

The STR Investment Decision Analyzer helps you put all those numbers together in one Excel workbook so you can evaluate a potential short-term rental investment before committing your money.

Enter your property and financing assumptions once, and the workbook automatically analyzes the deal.

See the numbers that actually matter:

• Estimated monthly and annual cash flow
• Cash-on-Cash Return
• Cap Rate
• DSCR
• Break-even occupancy
• Break-even ADR
• Occupancy safety margin
• Cash reserve needed
• Conservative, expected and optimistic scenarios
• Downside stress tests
• STR vs. long-term rental comparison
• 5-year cash flow, equity and return projections

Don’t just test the best-case scenario.

See what happens if occupancy drops, ADR falls, expenses increase, management fees are added, or a major repair occurs.

The built-in Scenario & Stress Test helps you see whether the investment still makes sense when things don’t go exactly as planned.

STR or long-term rental?

Compare both strategies using the same property and see how much your STR needs to earn — and what occupancy it needs — to outperform a traditional long-term rental.

Your targets. Your decision.

Set your own minimum requirements for cash flow, Cash-on-Cash Return, DSCR, Cap Rate, break-even occupancy and more.

The Dashboard compares the property against your targets and shows you where the deal meets them — and where it deserves another look.

Built for investors who want to analyze the deal before they buy it — not after.

Format: Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)

No macros. No subscription required.

Includes illustrative sample data so you can see how the analyzer works before entering your own property.
