Finding High-ROI STR Investments in Austin

Ed Neuhaus Ed Neuhaus March 5, 2025 1 min read

One of the things I love most about real estate is helping investors find and maximize profitable short-term rentals. It’s not just about buying a house—it’s about identifying properties with strong revenue potential, smart layouts, and the right amenities to attract high occupancy and premium nightly rates.

A recent opportunity in Northwest Austin is a perfect example. With the right setup, this spacious 4-bedroom home could generate ~$146K in annual revenue and offer a 50.65% ROI.

Why this property stands out:

  • Strong Location – Near Apple & Flextronics, ensuring steady demand
  • Great Layout – 4BD/2BA with space to optimize for guest stays
  • Resort-Style Backyard – Pool, pergola, and outdoor entertaining area
  • Proven Market – Nearby STRs are generating $160K–$200K+ per year

It’s not turnkey, but with the right strategy, it could be a high-performing STR in a prime area.

If you’re looking for the right investment property, I can help you navigate the numbers, analyze revenue potential, and make sure you’re buying something that actually cash flows.
