The Fastest Way to Find High-Return STR Deals

🧭 Why Working with an STR-Specific Agent Changes Everything

Not all real estate agents understand short-term rentals.

And when you're buying an STR, that difference matters — a lot.

The best STR properties aren’t always obvious. The highest-return homes often look average on paper, while the most “beautiful” listings sometimes perform poorly as rentals.

That’s why working with a local agent who specializes in short-term rentals can dramatically improve your returns.

📊 They Know Which Properties Actually Make Money

Most agents focus on helping you buy a home.

STR-specific agents focus on helping you buy a performing asset.

They understand:

• Which property types generate the highest ADR and occupancy
• What features drive bookings (hot tubs, views, proximity, layout, uniqueness)
• What guests actually search for in their market
• Which neighborhoods outperform — and which underperform
• Which listings look attractive but quietly struggle to book

They’ve seen the data. They’ve seen the results. And they know what works.

📍 They Know the Exact Streets Where STRs Perform Best

Performance can vary dramatically — even within the same town.

One street may allow STRs freely, while another restricts them. One neighborhood may command $400/night, while another nearby only achieves $175/night.

STR-specific agents know:

• The highest-performing micro-locations
• Where regulations are favorable and stable
• Where future restrictions are unlikely
• Where demand continues to grow
• Where appreciation has historically been strongest

⚖️ They Understand STR Regulations — and How to Navigate Them

Regulations are one of the biggest risks in STR investing.

STR agents stay on top of:

• Licensing requirements
• Permit caps and availability
• Zoning restrictions
• HOA rules and limitations
• Pending regulation changes
• STR-friendly vs STR-restricted areas

They help you avoid costly mistakes — and buy in areas where STRs are sustainable long-term.

📈 They Know Where Appreciation and Demand Are Headed

STR-focused agents don’t just understand today’s market — they understand where it’s going.

They track:

• Migration trends
• Tourism growth
• New infrastructure and development
• Inventory shortages
• Buyer demand and supply imbalances

This helps you buy in markets positioned for both cash flow and long-term appreciation.

🧠 They See the Best Deals Before Everyone Else

The best STR deals rarely last long — and many never hit the open market.

STR-specific agents often provide:

• Off-market opportunities
• Pre-market listings
• Investor-friendly sellers
• Under-market properties with strong STR upside

This access alone can dramatically improve your odds of finding a great investment.
