Investment thesis
This 4-bedroom, 2-bath home in Phoenix is positioned as a turnkey short-term rental with established guest-friendly amenities and a layout conducive to group stays. The property’s active STR status and robust amenity package—including a heated pool, hot tub, and game room—support its income potential. High-confidence underwriting projects strong cash flow and a compelling cash-on-cash return, making it attractive for investors seeking immediate STR exposure in a major Sunbelt market. The primary caveat is that returns are highly sensitive to occupancy and ADR assumptions, which should be validated against local STR demand and regulatory context.

Market
Phoenix remains a high-demand Sunbelt market for both leisure and business travel, supporting a robust short-term rental sector. This property’s size and amenity set position it well for group bookings, which are a key driver of STR performance in the region. The underwriting is based on high-confidence projections, but investors should remain aware of evolving STR regulations and competitive pressures in the Phoenix market.
Neighborhood
Located in a residential area of Phoenix, this property offers a private, amenity-rich experience likely to appeal to families and groups seeking a home base for local attractions. While detailed neighborhood demand signals are limited, the combination of a large lot, pool, and recreational features suggests above-average guest appeal for the area. Conclusions about guest demand are medium-confidence and should be validated with local STR performance data.
Underwriting notes
At a $589,000 purchase price, underwriting projects a monthly STR income of $7,414 and cash flow of $2,613, assuming a $375 ADR, 65% occupancy, 25% expense ratio, and 20% down at 6.4% interest. The estimated cash-on-cash return is 26.6%, reflecting strong income potential relative to capital invested. These projections are high-confidence but rely on achieving modeled occupancy and ADR; performance may vary with seasonality, competition, and regulatory changes.
