Common questions about STR investing in Scottsdale
What are Scottsdale's STR regulations and permit requirements?
Arizona state law (SB 1350) protects property owners' rights to operate STRs, but Scottsdale requires a Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) license and collection of state and local lodging taxes totaling approximately 12.57%. Properties must also comply with HOA restrictions where applicable. Many golf communities and luxury developments have specific rental rules that must be reviewed before purchasing. Read our complete Scottsdale STR Regulations Guide for details on compliance.
What are the best neighborhoods in Scottsdale for STR investment?
Old Town Scottsdale offers the highest occupancy rates due to walkability to restaurants, galleries, and nightlife. North Scottsdale golf communities like DC Ranch, Grayhawk, and Troon attract affluent golfers willing to pay premium rates. Paradise Valley adjacent properties command luxury pricing, while South Scottsdale offers more affordable entry points with solid returns near spring training facilities.
When is peak season for Scottsdale vacation rentals?
Scottsdale's peak season runs from January through April, coinciding with pleasant weather, MLB Spring Training (Cactus League), major golf tournaments like the WM Phoenix Open, and snowbird migration. Secondary peaks occur during Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction (January) and major events like the Arabian Horse Show. Summer months (June-August) see reduced demand due to extreme heat, though rates can spike for specific events.
What ROI can I expect from a Scottsdale STR investment?
Well-managed Scottsdale STRs typically generate gross rental yields of 6-10% annually, with luxury properties averaging $345/night and 72% occupancy. Properties with pools, mountain views, and golf course access command premium rates. Cash-on-cash returns of 8-15% are achievable with proper management, though results vary significantly based on property location, amenities, and management quality.
What amenities do Scottsdale STR guests expect?
Scottsdale guests expect resort-style amenities including private pools (heated pools are essential for winter guests), outdoor entertaining spaces with BBQ grills, modern kitchens, and high-end furnishings. Golf-focused properties benefit from garage space for carts and clubs. Smart home features, fast WiFi, and streaming services are standard expectations. Properties near hiking trails should provide trail maps and outdoor gear storage.
