Austin TX 78704 SFH vs MTR

Ruoqi Tian
Posted

[MTR/STR PM help] Dear community. I have a 3B2B (Max 8 guests) SFH STR in Austin TX 78704 operating for a about 6 months now. In hot months it's bringing in 6k+ income while in slow months less than $3k. I am planning to move out of the state in Spring 2026 and wonder if converting the home to a MTR would be a better strategy. Same neighborhood Furnished Finder listings are $3.5 - $4.5 per month. Happy to chat with anyone who has some insights!

What is your Net monthly income?

What's your 6 month Net profit?

Sounds like the MTR would make as much money with less work.

I'd also compare against what a LTR would Net per year.
