The Market's Top Short Term Rentals – Yours Before Anyone Else.
March 8, 2025 | Issue #116 |
INVESTOR’S EDGE EXCLUSIVE
With tourism booming (Graceland alone pulls in over 600,000 visitors a year) and remote work fueling mid-length stays, Memphis’s STR market has been quietly thriving. And today’s featured property? It’s the triple threat of STR potential. A rare American Gothic three-unit on a massive double-sized lot, it combines historic character with modern upgrades—think hardwood floors, new dual central HVAC, and gated off-street parking. Already running as a furnished Airbnb, this beauty is available for under $500K and expected to generate a 35% cash-on-cash return.

In addition to today’s featured property, we have a gorgeous 2BR mountain cabin in TN already doing $70K in annual bookings and a waterfront colonial estate in New Orleans with a rare chance to recoup your entire investment in the first year. These and more shared exclusively with Investor’s Edge readers.
