Short term rentals in Galveston TX

[Ashley Tocco]

Hi! Looking for any feedback regarding short term rentals in Galveston, Tx. My husband and I are looking to invest in the area, beach or lake house this year and curious how others have done in the area. Also looking to build a team as we are out of state in California.

 Hi Ashley!

Galveston has a great market for STR whether it be in a single family home or condo, there is something for everyone and a wide range of budgets. There was a dip in business this year but that was consistent with most national numbers. @Holly Kaufman and I have owned multiple on the island as well as long term rentals and love the market. We also work with out of town investors to help others do what we do. Feel free to shoot me a message if you would like to deep dive on the island and learn about it, always willing to help!

Ashley,

There is a great deal of useful information (in addition to posts about finding cleaning people, etc.) in a facebook group called Galveston Airbnb Hosts. People also post their STRs for sale in the group from time to time. I've learned quite a bit from just reading the posts.

 Have you bought all within the last 3 years?

[Brooklyn McCarty]

Yep. Closed on the first one March 14th of 2020 and literally the day we finished setting it up, the USA went into shelter in place. 

Didn’t have a single booking for months. 
bought the 2nd in late 2020. 3rd in late 2021. 4th in summer of 2022.

We also teach buyers how to self-manage if that's what you'd like to do.  100% doable remotely, I promise!  Once you are through the inspection period, you can join our free class, Management Mondays, where @Luke Carl himself teaches you everything you need to know to get started with software, platforms, finding vendors, and building your team.  This is a major benefit and sets The Short Term Shop apart from other realtors, even if they have their own STRs.

@Ashley Tocco I think the Short Term Shop is there now!

 Yes, we sure are! We opened up the STS market in Crystal Beach/Galveston, TX in October 2021.

 Yes, January is exactly right (and does exactly this with her market in Florida). We promote self-management to help STS owners keep as much of the profit in their pocket as possible.
