Every day our analyzer runs hundreds of for-sale listings through live short-term rental comp data and StaySTRA’s full investment model — financing, taxes, insurance, operating costs, furnishing. These are the 10 highest-scoring short-term rental candidates we surfaced in the last 24 hours, ranked by StaySTRA Score.

A quick note before the list: a high score means the numbers work on paper at the asking price. Confidence tells you how much comparable data backs the revenue estimate — treat “Low” picks as a starting point for your own diligence, not a green light.

Deal of the day: Jackson, GA

Today’s top-scoring opportunity is a 3-bed / 1-bath home at $165,000, projecting roughly $23,776/yr in short-term rental revenue — a 16.5% cap rate and 30.9% cash-on-cash at the list price. Confidence is Low; always run the comps yourself before acting.

How we score: every property is analyzed with live market revenue comps and StaySTRA’s full investment model. Scores reflect projected returns at the list price and are not investment advice. Listings come from public for-sale data and may go off-market without notice — always verify current price and availability.
