The Market's Top Short Term Rentals – Yours Before Anyone Else.

March 10, 2025

Issue #118

INVESTOR’S EDGE EXCLUSIVE

California’s short-term rental market isn’t just about beachside bungalows and Hollywood Hills mansions—mountain retreats and nature escapes are also seeing a surge in demand. This multi-level dream home delivers on both charm and income potential. Think: expansive decks, a private lower-level suite with its own entrance, and a swimming pool and spa tucked into the landscape like they belong on a luxury resort brochure. With an expected $35K in free cash flow on a 22% cash-on-cash return, it’s the STR where steady income is wrapped in nature’s finest backdrop.

In addition to today’s featured property, we have a waterfront dream an hour outside of NYC with a projected cash-on-cash return of 38% and a turnkey Airbnb in FL expected to deliver $22K in net revenue each year. These and more shared exclusively with Investor’s Edge readers.
