Colorado Airbnb Calculator
Project a Colorado short-term rental with state property-tax and insurance defaults, editable platform fees, lodging-tax treatment, operating expenses, cash flow, and break-even occupancy.
Local verification required. Coloradodefaults do not determine whether an STR is legal at a specific address. Verify city, county, zoning, HOA, primary-residence, permit, tax-registration, and platform collection rules before relying on the projection.
Colorado STR assumptions
This page seeds the calculator with a starting property value of $540,000.00 and a starting ADR of $219.00. These are screening defaults, not local revenue data. Replace them with nearby comparable STRs, seasonality, and actual booking history when available.
Property tax is seeded from the Colorado effective property-tax rate of 0.5%. Insurance uses the same state risk model as the other REI analyzers. Lodging tax is deliberately user-entered because city, county, tourism, convention, and occupancy taxes are often local.
STR diligence note from the Colorado investing profile: Denver requires owner occupancy for STR licensing (no pure investor STRs in Denver). Breckenridge, Vail, and mountain resort towns have caps or lotteries on STR licenses. Mountain town STR restrictions are actively changing.
Market context: Denver Metro (liquidity, job market, hybrid). Colorado Springs/El Paso County (military-adjacent, cash flow + appreciation). Pueblo (most affordable CO cash flow market). Fort Collins/Larimer County (CSU university town, strong rental demand). Grand Junction (western slope, affordable).
