Airbnb CoHost Property Manager for Austin Cohosts
Cohosting Airbnbs in Austin means tight turnover windows, owner payouts that need clean math, and a cleaning crew that runs on your calendar.
The most competitive rental market in Texas. Cap rates compressed hard 2020-2023, then softened 2024-2025. Operators here need meticulous underwriting because deals that pencil at 5% cap don't survive 6-7% interest rates. The tech corridor is real. So is the tenant sophistication.
Real estate + rental framework
Median 1BR rent: $1,850. Rapid rent appreciation from 2020-2022 has moderated. Travis County property tax rates run about 2.3% effective. Short-term rental (STR) regulation has tightened significantly. Austin's Type 2 STR license system limits investor Airbnb plays.
Economy + tax load
Median household income: $86,600. Top industries: tech (Tesla, Oracle, big tech satellites), state government, live music and entertainment. UT Austin is a massive economic anchor. No state income tax. Sales tax 6.25% plus 2% local.
Regulatory notes
Texas Property Code baseline. Austin's STR ordinance is restrictive. Type 2 licenses are capped by neighborhood. Business licensing at city level.
Climate + seasonality
Hot summers (Jun-Sep), mild winters with occasional severe cold snaps (Feb 2021 was existential). AC service is year-round demand core. Landscape businesses handle year-round work but shift modes.
Local flavor
East Austin, South Congress, Round Rock, Cedar Park. Each corridor has different rental depth. West Lake and Barton Springs zone are their own markets entirely.
Multiple properties, one dashboard. Bookings, turnovers, owner payouts, and maintenance tracked without the chaos.
