Skip the high barrier to entry in the Austin hospitality market. This is a fully systemized, turnkey Short-Term Rental (STR) portfolio consisting of five stabilized units in a high-demand submarket (SoCo/Prime Austin).
At an asking price of just $46,000, this is a high-leverage opportunity to acquire $150,000 in gross revenue and a "plug-and-play" infrastructure that has already survived the risky startup and stabilization phases. This business is designed for remote ownership, requiring minimal weekly oversight.
The "Hands-Off" Infrastructure
The owner has spent 2024 building a professional-grade hospitality engine. The sale includes:
Lease Security: 5 active lease agreements secured through February 2027, providing long-term operational stability.
Premium FF&E: All units come fully furnished with hotel-grade setups, curated for high-ranking platform performance.
Tech Stack: Fully integrated OwnerRez (PMS), PriceLabs (Dynamic Pricing), and automated guest messaging systems.
Operations: Established cleaning and turnover teams (contractors) and virtual assistants are already in place and trained on existing SOPs.
Location & Market Dominance
The Austin Advantage: Located in a high-performing submarket with year-round demand driven by major festivals (SXSW, ACL), Formula 1, corporate travel, and a booming tourism sector.
Optimized Listings: Includes professional photography and high-ranking listings on Airbnb and VRBO, ensuring immediate booking flow from Day 1.
Growth & Expansion Upside
The foundation is built, but significant "meat on the bone" remains for the next owner:
Direct Booking Pivot: Launch a direct booking site to bypass platform fees and increase net margins.
Mid-Term Rental (MTR) Strategy: Diversify into corporate housing or traveling nurse placements during shoulder seasons.
Ancillary Revenue: Implement high-margin upsells such as early check-ins, late check-outs, and curated concierge packages.
Portfolio Scaling: The existing SOPs and contractor team are designed to absorb additional units in the Austin area with zero additional overhead.
Operations & Transition
Home-Based/Remote: This business is 100% remotely operable. The current owner spends limited hours per week on high-level oversight.
Transition Support: Full training on the automated systems and introductions to the existing contractor team will be provided.
Reason for Sale: Owner is shifting focus to separate business ventures and requires capital for a new expansion opportunity.
Financial Snapshot
Rent: $8,000/month (Total for all 5 units).
Revenue: $150,000 Gross (Projected/Established).
Assets: All furniture, décor, and digital systems included in the $46k price.
