If you’ve been thinking about starting an Airbnb or short-term rental in Houston, this is your starting point.
I’m Ariana — a licensed Texas Realtor, STR operator, and the founder of Elevated Rentals Property Management. I’ve been managing short-term rentals in Houston for 3+ years, and this is a curated, regularly updated list of lease-available properties that are STR-approved.
That means before anything is added, I’ve verified with the landlord or listing agent that short-term rentals (Airbnb/VRBO) are allowed.
This saves you time, eliminates guesswork, and gives you a direct entry point into the Houston STR market.
STR-approved properties available to lease in Houston right now
Rent, bed/bath count, square footage, and furnishing status
Projected annual revenue, Average Daily Rate (ADR), and Occupancy % (sourced from AirDNA)
Neighborhood insights and setup cost guidance
Security deposit and application fee details (when available)
A breakdown of how to analyze each property and what to do next
This is a one-time purchase.
Once you purchase, you’ll have ongoing access to the list, so you can check back anytime for new opportunities.
The list is updated every Monday, with at least 2 new properties added each week (with a goal of 3+ whenever possible).
If you don’t see something you like right away — that’s normal. This is meant to be a living resource you revisit weekly until you find the right property.
As properties are leased or become unavailable, they will be removed from the list to keep everything current and relevant.
Every property includes the exact address, so you know precisely where it’s located.
You can:
Drive by the property
Explore the neighborhood
Evaluate the area before making a decision
I strongly recommend making an afternoon out of this — pick a few properties and go tour the neighborhoods to see what fits your vision.
This is how you make smarter, more confident investment decisions.
The revenue projections are sourced from AirDNA (airdna.co) and reflect market-level averages — not guarantees.
Your results will depend on:
Your listing quality
Pricing strategy
Furnishing and design
Guest experience
Management
This data is meant to guide your decisions, not replace your own research.
This is not a done-for-you Airbnb business or turnkey setup.
This is a vetted, strategic resource that helps you:
Skip hours of searching
Avoid properties that don’t allow Airbnb
Move forward confidently knowing STR use is approved
If a property is on this list, you already know it’s Airbnb-friendly — no extra verification needed.
Please note: I am not the listing agent for any property on this list. All properties are listed by independent landlords or agents. Direct listing links are provided so you can review full details and contact the appropriate party with any property-specific questions -- or hire me as your realtor!
Once you find a property you like, I can support you in a few ways:
1. Realtor Representation (Free to You)
I can represent you as your Realtor — the landlord pays my commission.
2. New Host Setup Package ($1,200)
Done-for-you setup including:
Airbnb & VRBO listing creation
Professional photo coordination
Pricing strategy + optimization
Vendor connections (cleaning team, handyman, etc.)
You’ll walk away with a fully optimized, ready-to-launch listing.
3. Ongoing Management
If you prefer to be hands-off, my company (Elevated Rentals Property Management) offers co-hosting and full-service management.
Is this a one-time purchase?
Yes. You pay once and get ongoing access to the list.
How often is the list updated?
Every Monday, with at least 2 new properties added weekly (goal is 3+).
What happens when properties are leased?
They are removed from the list to keep everything current.
Do I really have access long-term?
Yes — you can continue checking the list anytime for new opportunities.
Are all properties Airbnb-approved?
Yes. Every property has been verified with the landlord or listing agent.
Do I still need to ask if Airbnb is allowed?
No — that’s already been confirmed for you.
Is income guaranteed?
No. Revenue data is based on market averages and should be used as a starting point.
Who do I contact if I have questions about a specific property? Each property on the list includes a direct link to the exact listing. If you have questions about the property itself — availability, landlord requirements, lease terms, etc. — you will need to contact the listing agent directly using the contact information provided on the listing. I am not the listing agent for these properties and cannot speak on their behalf.
Can you help me after I choose a property? Yes — if you'd like representation when moving forward on a property, I offer Realtor representation at no cost to you (the landlord pays my commission). To be represented by me, we will sign a representation agreement before I begin making any inquiries or contacts on your behalf. I can also support you with setup and ongoing management depending on your needs.
