Short-Term Rental Investment · Austin, Texas & Beyond

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

I'm Grant Stopperich. I buy and manage luxury short-term rentals and help investors do the same. I own short-term rentals myself, so the advice you get is advice I've already taken.

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 Property Management

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.

Results

With the numbers attached

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.

  • $150k+ booked for year one
  • Crossed the $130k projection with a quarter of the year left
  • One operator from underwrite to nightly pricing
I won't manage a property I wouldn't put my own money into. That rule keeps my client list short, and it means the advice you get from me is advice I've already acted on.

Who I Work With

A deliberately small client list

High income earners

You earn well, you want real estate cash flow, and you have no interest in answering guest texts at midnight.

Investment partners

You want an operator who has his own money in every market he recommends.

Luxury property owners

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

Busy professionals

Your hourly rate makes self-managing a rental a bad trade.
