Arlington Market - need contacts

Sofia Miranda
Posted Aug 8 2022, 11:57

My husband and I are wanting to start with STR. We love the idea of Arlington and the numbers seem to make sense. However, Arlington has a tight grip on STRs and finding a property that is zoned as an STR is a nightmare!

Nevertheless, we are persistent and want to get started! 

If you have any insights please let me know. We are not from the area so need contacts. Major plus if you have experience in this market!

Arlington has a very tight zone on STR. Right by the stadium areas.

Thanks @Bruce Lynn for the response. I've been using their interactive map to find possible homes. But yes, you are right it is very tight.

@Sofia Miranda - did you end up finding an STR in Arlington? As others have mentioned, the zone is very tight around the Stadium.

Hey @Sofia Miranda! I might be able to help. I have a STR currently right by AT&T stadium so very familiar with the city and their requirements. I also only sell investment properties and sometimes get something in the entertainment district. If you're interested or have questions let me know, happy to connect!

@Sofia Miranda Did you ever find the right STR? Would you consider other cities?
