Investment Overview
Gatsby Advisors Brokerage is pleased to present a rare, fully turnkey short-term rental (STR) portfolio located in Houston, Texas. This seven-unit portfolio (Units 1, 2, 3, A, B, C, and D) is fully operational, professionally managed, and generating strong cash flow. The portfolio has minimal overhead and is ideal for investors seeking immediate, passive income or those completing a 1031 exchange.
Financial Summary
2024 YTD Gross Revenue: $244,827
Homeowner Net Earnings: $135,716
Operating Expense Ratio: Approximately 4.7% (excluding platform and cleaning fees)
This portfolio has been optimized for efficiency and profitability, with operating systems already in place and a local team handling day-to-day operations.
Value-Add Opportunity
While the current operation is already producing healthy returns, there are several clear paths for upside, including:
Increasing daily rental rates to align with current market comps
Improving occupancy rates through dynamic pricing tools
Converting one or more units to medium-term rentals to target traveling professionals, corporate tenants, or medical residents
Leveraging the property's proximity to the Texas Medical Center and major transit lines
No Deferred Maintenance
Each unit has been consistently maintained to a high standard with no deferred maintenance. Key updates and features include:
Modern interior furnishings and décor
Updated appliances and HVAC systems
Smart locks and integrated security surveillance
Quality flooring, cabinetry, and fixtures throughout
This provides peace of mind to the next owner and reduces the likelihood of unexpected capital expenditures.
Property Features
Mix of unit types: Studios, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom layouts
Fully furnished and professionally cleaned between stays
High-speed internet and streaming subscriptions included with each unit
Reliable local property management team handles guest communication, repairs, and turnovers
Matterport 3D tours and digital marketing infrastructure already in place for seamless marketing and guest acquisition
Ample street parking for guests
Close proximity to METRORail, major employment centers, universities, and medical institutions
Location Highlights
Located near key Houston destinations including:
Texas Medical Center
Downtown Houston
University of Houston
Rice University
Midtown and Museum District
Easy access to public transit, retail, and entertainment corridors
This central location not only supports strong STR performance but also makes the property well-positioned for medium-term tenants and long-term appreciation.
Ideal Buyer Profile
This offering is best suited for:
Investors seeking stable, cash-flowing assets with minimal operational burden
Out-of-state buyers looking for passive income with local management already in place
1031 exchange buyers seeking a diversified yet manageable portfolio
Operators specializing in medium-term housing for healthcare professionals, contract workers, or executive relocation clients
