Spectacular Views & Revenue Potential
Highlands Overlook was purchased by our clients the Goldenbergs in October 2023. It’s a 6 bed, 3.5 house with fantastic views. The house had never been rented out, and came in pretty good condition. Still, the deck space was limited, and the 2 car garage was not the best use of space for a short term rental, so deck expansion and garage conversion were the primary renovation projects, which are just getting started as of the time of this writing. Additionally, the entire house will be designer-decorated. The Goldenbergs hired us to coordinate the renovation and staging of the property.

Projected Numbers
They purchased the home for $1.07m, which is a large purchase but still quite competitive for a 6 bedroom home with views like this. The renovation and furnishing budget is $135k, and after putting 30% down on the purchase price, plus closing costs, they will be all in for around $485k. Revenue expectations are $250k per year, which will net the Goldenbergs ~75k/yr in net income, equating to a 15% cash on cash return, which increases to 21% after factoring in equity gains from principal pay down and 2% per year appreciation. These figures are after paying New School to set up and manage the property, making this an entirely passive investment.
“We are new to short term rental investing, but Chris gave us a clear path forward. He connected us with the right realtor, lender, designer, and contractors to make our property stand out. New School Hosting knows the short term rental business inside and out, and we are confident our investment is in good hands with Chris & James. We’re already planning our next investment with them!” – Noah & Candice
