West Virginia Airbnb Calculator
Project a West Virginia 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. West Virginiadefaults 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.
West Virginia STR assumptions
This page seeds the calculator with a starting property value of $145,000.00 and a starting ADR of $106.00. 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 West Virginia effective property-tax rate of 0.51%. 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 West Virginia investing profile: No statewide restrictions. Limited STR ordinances in Morgantown (WVU) and some eastern panhandle resort towns.
Market context: Morgantown/Monongalia County (WVU university market — most economically stable market in WV, cash flow). Charleston/Kanawha County (state capital, healthcare/government, cash flow). Huntington/Cabell County (Marshall University, medical, cash flow). Eastern Panhandle (Berkeley, Jefferson, Morgan counties — DC/NoVA commuter market, growing, hybrid). Lewisburg/Greenbrier County (resort/tourism, small but growing STR market).
