I'm working with a property in Brown County, Indiana that is fully approved for STR use under current regulations and has a documented operating history ($70k–$110k gross; ~$450 ADR).
Zoning restrictions prevent adding additional rental units on the parcel, so this is a single-asset STR where value is driven by privacy, acreage, and guest experience rather than scale.
Curious how other STR owners think about long-term value and defensibility in markets where zoning has tightened significantly.
In markets where zoning has tightened, most STR owners focus less on adding units and more on protecting what they already have. When supply is limited due to restrictions on zoning, a legally compliant STR with a good history becomes more valuable as time goes on because new supply is limited.
