The 247 Broker
For Austin sellers · STR-ready homes

Sell to a funded short-term-rental buyer pool.

We pre-underwrite Austin-area homes for an active investor pipeline that buys turnkey short-term rentals. Send us an address and you get a written read — what the pool would pay, under which structure, and the assumptions we used to get there.

No obligation and no guaranteed offer. Plenty of good houses don’t underwrite for this pool — when that happens we tell you, and we tell you why.

How the offer comes

Two numbers, not one.

The same house is worth different amounts depending on how it’s paid for. Where the home fits, we bring both structures so you can compare them against your own basis and tax picture instead of guessing.

Structure one

The conventional number

A straightforward, conventionally financed price. Standard contract, standard closing timeline, cash to you at close.

  • Cash to seller at closing
  • Conventional financing on the buyer side
  • Normal Texas contract and title timeline
Structure two

The seller-financed number

Typically a higher headline price in exchange for carrying paper — roughly 10–15% down with interest in the 5–5.5% range, with the note terms negotiated deal by deal.

  • Higher price than the conventional number
  • ~10–15% down, ~5–5.5% interest
  • Sellers who don’t need all cash at close often net more

Rates and down-payment ranges shown here are the terms this pipeline has been working with, not a quote. Every note is negotiated on the specific deal, and nothing is binding until it’s in a signed contract reviewed by your own counsel and tax advisor.

The buy box

What we look for.

This is the honest shape of the box. Homes just outside it still get read — send it and we’ll tell you where it lands.

Home
3–5 bedrooms

Single-family or detached. Enough sleeping capacity to underwrite as a short-term rental.

Condition
Turnkey

Renovated, well-maintained, or already furnished. This pool buys ready-to-operate homes, not fixers.

Rules
STR-permissible

No HOA, or CC&Rs that allow short-term rental. Restrictive HOAs are the most common reason a good house doesn’t work.

Core Austin
78704 · 78745

South and Central Austin — the South Congress and South Lamar corridors are the heart of the box.

Central & East
78702 · 78701

East Austin and downtown, where nightly demand supports the debt on a higher basis.

Lake Travis
Hudson Bend · Comanche Trail

The lake side, where larger homes and pools carry a different revenue profile entirely.

Also active
Select San Antonio

A narrower list of San Antonio submarkets. Send it and we’ll tell you whether it’s one of them.

Underwriting
1.4x coverage

Projected short-term-rental revenue has to cover debt service at 1.4x or better before the pool will look at a price.

How it works

Three steps, one day.

01

Send the address

Just the address to start. Anything you can add helps — recent renovations, whether it’s furnished, any rental history, HOA or none, and your timing.

02

Underwritten within a day

We pull the comps for that pocket, project short-term-rental revenue for the home’s size and location, and run it against debt service at our 1.4x coverage standard. Usually same day.

03

Offer or offers, in writing

If it clears, you get the conventional number and the seller-financed number side by side, with the assumptions behind each one written out. If it doesn’t clear, you get that answer and the reason.

Straight talk

What this is, and what it isn’t.

It is a real, funded buyer pipeline. These are investors actively acquiring short-term rentals in Austin, with a defined buy box and a coverage standard they hold to. We underwrite to that standard before anything reaches them, which is why the answer comes back fast.

It is not an instant-offer program.Nothing is guaranteed. If the projected revenue doesn’t cover debt service at 1.4x, or the HOA rules out short-term rental, there is no number we can bring you — and we’d rather say so on day one than string you along.

Short-term-rental rules move.Austin’s licensing landscape has changed more than once, and our underwriting assumes the rules as they stand today. We’ll show you what we assumed so you can judge it for yourself.

Send an address

One address is enough to start.

We’ll underwrite it against the buy box above and come back with the number — or with the reason there isn’t one.

No obligation and no listing agreement required to get the read. We’re a licensed Texas brokerage representing the buy side; if you want us to represent you on the sale, that’s a separate written agreement.
