Looking for a multi-family property in the Austin area to use as a short term rental?  These properties are located in the greater Austin area, and could make great short term rental investments. The City of Austin addresses multi-family STR permitting in a somewhat convoluted way. For duplex properties, you can obtain two STR permits in order to operate both units as STRS.  4-Plexes fall under a different zoning type, and thus are limited to only one permit per building. Homes with ADU's are also treated differently than duplexes.  Thus, before purchasing a property you intend to use as a short term rental, buyer should independently verify all rules, regulations and restrictions for a given property with the municipality and any other governing bodies..  For rental projections and more info, contact us.
