Why Short Term?
We help investors turn underperforming assets into strong, reliable income streams through fully managed Short-Term Rentals.
Why STR with Hostin?
Property prices surged, interest rates climbed, and costs keep rising. Owning an investment property has become harder to make profitable each year—especially with a mortgage.
That's exactly why Hostin exists. We help investors turn underperforming assets into strong, reliable income streams through fully managed Short-Term Rentals (STR)—done properly, with personal concierge-style service.
Real Performance Data
Real performance data from real properties cuts through the noise.
40–60% Higher Income
Award-nominated hosting standards and pricing optimisation typically deliver 40–60% higher income than permanent rental.
2025 Income / Cost Overview
Permanent Rental (Estimated):
$44,200 – Estimated annual gross income
$32,562 – Estimated income after management fees and standard investment expenses (Rates, water, insurance)
Hostin STR (Actual):
$100,478 – 2025 gross STR revenue (less platform fees)
$59,610 – STR gross profit after STR operating expenses (Management fees, cleaning, consumables, electricity, internet, furniture/fixed items, maintenance, gardening)
$53,083 – Actual STR net income after standard property expenses (rates, water, insurance)
The Difference That Matters
Hostin has managed this property for two years and delivered an STR net income of $53,083 in 2025, compared to a projected $32,562 as a permanent rental.
That's an increase of:
$20,521 more per year
61% higher net income
What This Looks Like In Real Mortgage Terms
A $950,000 property with an approximate $760,000 mortgage has an estimated annual cost of:
$52,312 per year
With Hostin STR:
- The mortgage is essentially covered (based on 2025 results)
- And the property is positioned to keep improving as STR rates grow over time
With permanent rental:
- You're facing a shortfall of around $19,750 per year—real out-of-pocket pressure, year after year.
And that's the part many investors are quietly realising right now: "Old school" rental strategies can take many years (sometimes decades) to become positively geared—if they ever do.
