Michigan Airbnb Calculator

Project a Michigan 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. Michigandefaults 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.

Michigan STR assumptions

This page seeds the calculator with a starting property value of $230,000.00 and a starting ADR of $138.00. 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 Michigan effective property-tax rate of 1.19%. 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 Michigan investing profile: No statewide restrictions. Traverse City, Petoskey, and resort communities have STR regulations. Detroit is considering STR rules. Resort community STR rules are evolving.

Market context: Detroit Metro (Wayne, Macomb, Oakland counties — highest cash flow yields in major U.S. metros, SFR institutional market). Grand Rapids/Kent County (diversified economy, growing, hybrid). Lansing/Ingham County (state capital, MSU, cash flow). Ann Arbor/Washtenaw County (university + tech, appreciation/hybrid). Traverse City/Grand Traverse County (resort/STR market, strong appreciation).
