The North Carolina STR That Beat Projections πΈπ

The Opportunity
This North Carolina short-term rental highlights the results of a structured, full-service STR investment approach. The project began with defined financial goals and a $600,000 out-of-pocket budget, followed by market research across multiple STR destinations to identify a high-performing opportunity by the BNB Turnkey team.

The Investment
The property was acquired for $980,000 and fully designed, furnished, and positioned for premium performance. Strategic upgrades included standout amenities such as a pickleball court, hot tub, and game room, enhancing guest experience and pricing power.
Initial Projections
At launch, the property was projected to generate:
$237,250 in annual revenue
21.2% cash-on-cash return
Performance After 6 Months
Results quickly exceeded expectations:
61% occupancy rate
$1,677 average daily rate (ADR)
$373,420 in annual revenue
42.4% cash-on-cash return
Tax Advantages
The investor also leveraged accelerated depreciation, producing an estimated $344,060 in tax savings, further improving overall returns.
Why It Matters
This case study demonstrates how disciplined market selection, experience-driven design, and ongoing revenue optimization can significantly outperform initial STR projections.
