    Overview

    Exceptional income-producing property located in the heart of the historic district of Columbus — a rare opportunity featuring 6 total units (5 currently operating as short-term rentals) in an area where multifamily zoning is no longer permitted, making this a grandfathered and highly sought-after asset. This property is currently operating as a high-performing Airbnb portfolio, with approximately 89% occupancy, significantly outperforming typical market averages. The unit mix includes multiple 1-bedroom units, a 2-bedroom unit, and a studio, providing diversified income streams and broad guest appeal. The property is fully operational and turnkey, with established systems, active listings, and consistent booking performance. One unit is currently utilized as on-site staff housing, offering built-in operational support, with the option for conversion to additional income-producing use. Conveniently located near downtown Columbus, the Riverwalk, and Fort Benning, the property benefits from strong and consistent demand drivers. Climate control is handled through independent unit systems (including mini-split and window units), which have supported reliable performance and high occupancy over time. Additionally, the property offers a unique financing advantage — it can be reconfigured to a 4-unit layout to align with conventional residential lending guidelines (Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac), creating an opportunity for “house hacking” with primary residence financing while still generating strong income. This is a unique opportunity for investors seeking a stabilized, income-producing asset with proven performance, as well as buyers looking for flexibility in use, financing options, and future upside. ?? Investment Highlights ~89% occupancy (well above market averages) 5 active short-term rental units + 1 additional unit Grandfathered multifamily zoning (no new comparable supply) Strong revenue history and diversified unit mix Turnkey operation with immediate income potential Potential to convert to 4-unit configuration for conventional financing (house hacking opportunity) ?? Additional Information Detailed financials, Airbnb listings, and performance data available upon request. Ideal for investors seeking a short-term rental portfolio, boutique hospitality concept, or mixed-use opportunity in a high-demand area.
