PRIME INVESTMENT PROPERTY — Louisville, KY (Prospect, KY) | No STR Restrictions | $625,000
This Ohio River waterfront property comes with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) — required for short-term rentals in Louisville — that transfers directly with ownership. Unlike standard Louisville STR permits, this CUP allows for full-time short-term rental use with NO requirement for the owner to live in the home for six months out of the year. Operate immediately from day one with zero regulatory hurdles.
INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS:
• Prior owner verified STR income: ~$70,000/year operating just 9 months
• Demonstrated nightly rate: $400+/night
• Comparable neighbor same street: $300+/night, booked weekly
• Current MTR income in place: $3,850/month (May 4th, 2025 - July 5th, 2025)
• No HOA — complete operational flexibility
• Derby week potential: $1,000+/night
THE CUP ADVANTAGE:
Municipalities across the country are restricting and banning new STR permits. This CUP is already in place, fully transferable, and requires no owner-occupancy — an extraordinarily rare combination in today's regulatory environment.
