🔥 The Smart Way Investors Launch High-ROI STRs (No Management Required)

Texas has become one of the strongest short-term rental markets in the country—but the investors winning big aren’t managing contractors, furniture orders, or guest messages.

They’re partnering with BNB Turnkey, a full-service STR investment firm that takes properties from acquisition to fully optimized, revenue-producing assets—completely hands-off.

A recent Texas case study shows just how effective this model can be.

From Strategy to Scalable Cash Flow

This investor partnered with BNB Turnkey to build a high-performing short-term rental without day-to-day involvement. With a $300,000 out-of-pocket budget and clearly defined goals, BNB Turnkey executed a full investment roadmap—from market research to launch—while the investor stayed passive throughout.

How It Worked

🚀 Step 1: Strategic Planning

BNB Turnkey aligned the investment with long-term financial goals, established lending and legal partnerships, and defined a clear acquisition strategy.

📊 Step 2: Market & Deal Analysis

Multiple Texas markets were evaluated using real STR performance data. The team finalized four high-growth markets and sourced a property positioned for strong demand and premium pricing.

🏡 Step 3: Property Acquisition

BNB Turnkey handled negotiations, inspections, and closing from start to finish.

Acquisition Price: $544,200
Initial Projections:

• ADR: $589

• Occupancy: 66%

• Annual Revenue: $142,455

• Cash-on-Cash Return: 20.79%

🎨 Step 4: Design & Listing Prep

The property was fully transformed with intentional design and high-impact amenities—including a hot tub, basketball court, and poker table—engineered to increase bookings and nightly rates.

⚙️ Step 5: Post-Launch Optimization

Within six months of launch, performance exceeded projections:

• ADR: $627.75

• Occupancy: 70%

• Annual Revenue: $160,391

• Cash-on-Cash Return: 27.27%

Dynamic pricing, revenue management, and ongoing optimization unlocked additional upside.

🧾 Step 6: Long-Term Optimization & Tax Strategy

By leveraging accelerated depreciation through the short-term rental tax strategy, the investor unlocked an estimated $204,793 in depreciation, significantly improving after-tax returns and setting the foundation for future acquisitions.

A True Turnkey STR Investment

This Texas project highlights what’s possible when acquisition, design, and operations are handled by experts—allowing investors to scale without lifting a finger.
