I'm also looking to get my hands on a good calculator for short term rentals since I'm terrible with Excel and only have a calculator for long term rentals that I know is missing sections that are specific to short term.Any help you can give me would be very much appreciated :) BiggerPockets has an Airbnb calculator, and I see that you're a pro member.Since you've read the STR book and done other education, you know HOW to pick a market lol.

Leveraging equity and planning your next move with strategic financing is an excellent way to build your portfolio.

Make sure, before you purchase, that you have an excellent team.
