Every morning, the Daily Deal sends pre-underwritten short-term rental properties to your inbox — projected revenue, net cash flow, and cash-on-cash return already calculated. No spreadsheet required.
Finding short-term rental investment deals takes time. Evaluating them takes more. Most investors spend hours every week hunting listings, building spreadsheets, and trying to figure out if a property they found on Zillow will actually generate the cash flow they need. The VaultSTR Daily Deal newsletter was built to cut that loop down to minutes.
The Daily Deal is a free newsletter published on Substack. Every morning, subscribers receive a curated set of active short-term rental investment properties, each fully underwritten using VaultSTR's methodology. Every deal includes:
You get the analysis done. You decide whether to pursue.
In the markets where short-term rentals perform well, well-priced properties move fast. A cabin in the Smoky Mountains or a Gulf Coast beach house that actually pencils at a 12% cash-on-cash return doesn't sit on the market for three weeks. It goes pending in days. If you're running your own deal search manually, you're evaluating properties after the window has already narrowed.
The Daily Deal lands in your inbox before most investors have opened their MLS alerts. The underwriting is already done. If a deal looks right, you can click through to the Zillow listing, confirm the numbers, and contact your agent the same morning.
Every deal in the newsletter goes through the same VaultSTR underwriting process that powers the Deal Vault. Revenue is projected using comparable STR data for the same market, bedroom count, and property profile. The expense model applies a conservative load that includes property management at 25% of gross revenue, STR-specific insurance, maintenance reserves, and actual property taxes.
Cash flow is modeled against a 20% down DSCR loan at current published rates. The cash-on-cash return you see in the newsletter is calculated the same way every time, which makes comparing deals across different markets and price points straightforward. You're not reconciling different methodologies or adjusting for optimistic assumptions. The numbers are built to be conservative.
The newsletter pulls deals from the same 30+ top STR markets tracked in the Deal Vault. This includes:
You can browse everything in the full database anytime at vaultstr.com/deals. The newsletter surfaces the highest-rated new additions each morning.
The newsletter is useful if you're actively acquiring STR properties and want to move through deal evaluation faster. It's also a practical tool for real estate agents who work with STR investor clients — you'll see pre-underwritten deals daily and can pass along anything that matches your clients' criteria without doing the analysis yourself.
It's free. It takes about 90 seconds to read. And if one deal every few weeks turns into a serious acquisition conversation, the time savings compound quickly.
Subscribing takes 30 seconds. Go to dailydeal.substack.com, enter your email, and you'll get the next morning's deals in your inbox. No credit card. No trial period. Just a free daily digest of underwritten STR investment properties across the top short-term rental markets.
If you want to browse the full deal database rather than wait for the morning email, the VaultSTR Deal Vault is updated daily and lets you filter by market, sort by return, and compare every active deal side by side.

What is the VaultSTR Daily Deal newsletter?
The Daily Deal is a free newsletter published on Substack that sends pre-underwritten short-term rental investment properties to subscribers every morning. Each deal includes projected gross revenue, estimated net cash flow, cash-on-cash return modeled against a 20% down DSCR loan, and a direct link to the active Zillow listing.
Is the Daily Deal newsletter free?
Yes. The Daily Deal newsletter is free to subscribe. Go to dailydeal.substack.com, enter your email, and you'll receive the next morning's deals in your inbox. No credit card is required.
How is the underwriting done for each deal?
VaultSTR uses revenue data from AirDNA and Rabbu to estimate annual gross revenue based on actual market occupancy rates and average daily rates for comparable properties. The expense model applies a conservative load including property management at 25%, STR insurance, maintenance reserves, and property taxes. Cash flow is modeled against a 20% down DSCR loan at current published rates.
What markets does the Daily Deal cover?
The newsletter pulls deals from 30+ top STR markets including the Smoky Mountains (TN), Gulf Coast (FL panhandle and Crystal Beach TX), Poconos (PA), Desert Southwest (Scottsdale, Joshua Tree, Sedona), mountain markets (Big Bear, Lake Tahoe, Blue Ridge GA), the Pacific Northwest, and the Adirondacks and Catskills in New York.
How is the Daily Deal different from browsing the Deal Vault directly?
The Deal Vault at vaultstr.com/deals is a searchable database of all active pre-underwritten deals. The Daily Deal newsletter curates the highest-rated new additions each morning and delivers them to your inbox — so you see the best new deals the moment they're added, without logging in to browse.
Can real estate agents use the Daily Deal for their STR investor clients?
Yes. Many real estate agents who work with STR investors subscribe to the Daily Deal so they can identify deals that match their clients' criteria each morning. The underwriting is already done, so you can forward relevant deals without building your own analysis.
Subscribe to the VaultSTR Daily Deal newsletter and get pre-underwritten short-term rental properties with real cash-on-cash returns sent to your inbox every morning.
