Short-Term Rental Investment · Austin, Texas & Beyond

I run short-term rentals for people who would rather own them than operate them.

Grant Stopperich

I'm Grant Stopperich. I own and operate a small collection of luxury short-term rentals. I bought my first STR while working a sales job, ran it nights and weekends, and realized operations is where returns are made or lost. That property became Good Stays Only, where I manage luxury rentals for owners and help investors buy their own.

How I work with investors

No. 01

Investment Advisory

Where to buy and what a property will actually earn once you count cleaning, software, taxes, and the slow months. I underwrite client deals with the same model I used to buy my own properties.

No. 02

Luxury STR Hosting & Operations

Pricing, guest messaging, housekeeping, and maintenance, plus a monthly report that shows what your property earned and what it cost. You see everything and handle nothing.

No. 03

Revenue Strategy

Most listings get priced once and left alone. I adjust rates through the week against local events, booking pace, and what comparable homes are charging. On properties I take over, pricing is usually the first place I find money.

"Grant has made all the difference in our experience as Airbnb owners. When we met with Grant, we realized there's a whole new level of professionalism in hospitality management. We love the detailed reporting and the clients love the great customer service. Grant is responsive, conscientious, and thinks about our investment like a business expert. Guests are satisfied, we get hassle-free ownership, and we're booked all the time."

2.8x Monthly revenue vs. the old lease

SoCo Cowgirl

Austin, TX · Full STR conversion + management

The owners had a home three minutes from South Congress, one of the strongest short-term rental corridors in Austin, earning a flat monthly rent. We converted it end to end: design, furnishing, heated pool, hot tub, karaoke room, game room, then listed, priced, and managed it.

Golden Dune Getaway

Wilmington, NC · New-market launch · Sleeps 20

Our first property in a brand-new market. We underwrote Wilmington from Austin, renovated from the ground up, and built the market's one-of-a-kind group stay: heated pool, hot tub, pickleball and basketball court, and a game room, ten minutes from Wrightsville Beach.

Sunset Social

Austin, TX · Underwrite, design & management

We underwrote this property at $130k of year-one revenue before purchase; that number drove the deal. Then we built for it: resort backyard, private movie theater, and design that books groups year-round. Bookings passed the projection at month nine.

Who I Work With

A deliberately small client list

High income earners

You earn well, you want real estate cash flow, and your hourly rate makes answering guest texts at midnight a bad trade.

Investment partners

You want the person who underwrote the deal to be the same person accountable for its returns.

Luxury property owners

You own a premium home and expect it looked after the way you would look after it.
