STR vs LTR calculator — Idaho
Idaho markets have seen migration-driven demand in several cycles. Default rent inputs are based on HUD FMR data—model downside as well as upside, since job and rent paths can move faster than in slower-growth regions. Same math as the national STR vs LTR calculator; numbers are educational—not lender instructions.
Frequently asked questions
- How do STR platform fees affect returns?
- Platform fees reduce gross booking revenue before operating expenses. This calculator applies your fee percentage to gross nightly revenue after occupancy.
- What occupancy makes short-term rental worth it vs long-term?
- It depends on nightly rate, fees, and expenses. Raise occupancy or nightly rate until STR cash flow and NOI beat your long-term rent scenario on the same financing.
- How should I compare STR vs LTR in Idaho?
- Use realistic occupancy and fee assumptions for STR, then compare against a long-term baseline near about $1,150/month. Include cleaner turnover, management, and regulation-related costs before deciding.
