SHORT TERM RENTALS

Short term rentals, also known as vacation rentals, are rentals less than 30 days.  Investing in a short term rental (STR) in the Austin market can be more challenging than investing in a long term rental.  Identifying a solid STR investment is time consuming, and if you choose to manage it yourself it will be more intensive than a long term rental.  However, short term rentals can be incredibly lucrative- often providing way better returns than long term rentals.
