WHY BROKEN BOW / HOCHATOWN?
Broken Bow/Hochatown, Oklahoma is one of the top twenty best places in America to invest in a short-term rental property according to AirBnB and VRBO. It’s a booming vacation town only three hours away from the DFW area, growing at an astonishing rate. There are over 3,500 luxury vacation cabins in Broken Bow but the area is said to more than double and will be unrecognizable in the next 5 to 10 years. Broken Bow, Oklahoma has been said by many deep pocketed commercial developers, it will be the next Branson Missouri or Smokey Mountains. The area is an outdoorsman ‘s paradise. It has some of the best fly fishing in the country off the Upper and Lower Mountain Fork River. The gorgeous and pristine Broken Bow Lake has natural shorelines unencumbered with the sights and sounds of any evidence of society. This boom town sits in Oklahoma’s most southeast county, at the beginning of the Ouachita Mountains extending up into the Ozark Mountains. Most people know of the area as Broken Bow, but the luxury cabins are located a few miles north in the town of Hochatown, which is also referred to as Beavers Bend State Park. Hochatown boasts local breweries, wineries, an 18-hole golf course, local restaurants, rivers that rival Colorado, horseback riding, ATV rentals, boat and Jet Ski rentals, kayaking, canoeing, zip lining, go-carts, petting zoos and soon to be a Safari Park. What’s even more exciting is that the Choctaw Nation purchased 700 acres in the heart of Hochatown and have begun building their next casino, “The Landing ''. The casino will be a resort hotel, with a water park, and a concert venue for top artists. Cabin investors will certainly benefit when its doors open in 2023. It will draw many visitors to the area that might normally visit other casinos.
NEW CONSTRUCTION:
Kelli encourages investors not to ignore newly constructed, unfurnished cabins. Some of the builders often know they are leaving money on the table giving the investor instant equity. There are many interior designers, furniture stores, and people willing to help get a cabin “rent ready”, spanning from the inexpensively to those that will spare no expense. The citizens in the local communities have succeeded in finding the needs of cabin owners and providing them with just about any service an investor could have.
MCCURTAIN COUNTY, AN OPPORTUNITY ZONE:
Another fabulous aspect of investing in Hochatown is that McCurtain is deemed an Opportunity Zone. Before you jump into another 1031 Exchange, it would be wise to explore the tax benefits of improving a property from an Opportunity Zone Fund. Kelli would be happy to provide contact information to a Real Estate Attorney who is well versed in Opportunity Zones.
MANAGEMENT COMPANIES:
Management companies range wildly, not only to the percentages they charge but to the services they provide or don’t provide. Choosing the right magnet company will make or break you. Kelli has had the pleasure of working alongside a newer management company that has really shown to help their investors more than most. Their goal is to outperform every management company in town, provide more social media marketing than any other company, provide the best cleaning and maintenance services, and make the most profits for their investors at the most competitive percentage in town.
INFRASTRUCTURE:
Until recently, infrastructure was not on the radar at the State, County, and local level. Within the last year new and necessary projects have begun to support the framework of the quickly growing tourist town. The state highways from the DFW to Hochatown are expanding. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation will soon be starting a major project expanding the main highway that runs through Hochatown and adding at least four traffic lights in town. The McCurtain County Municipal Airport has been under construction for the last three years to support the number of vacationers, real estate, and commercial investors as well as developers arriving by private jet.
So, whether you are considering your very first short term rental property, or you are looking to expand your portfolio to a new and booming market, reach out to a successful investor. Kelli Haus is looking forward to hearing from you!

Testimonials
"My husband and I reached out to Kelli a few years ago to buy our first investment cabin in Broken Bow. My husband flat out told her he was not going to be one of her easier clients. We asked her so many questions and were surprised at the extent of her knowledge as to which cabins would be a better investment than others and why. After a few days of seeing cabins, Kelli helped us narrow down the very best investment possible for us. Her negotiating skills with the buyer’s agent as well as coming up with a very creative offer was so helpful in getting our offer accepted. We recently reached out to Kelli to sell our cabin. She had multiple offers within hours. She was even able to get it under contract with one of her clients before it had a chance to be listed on MLS long. We couldn’t believe it when Kelli had multiple offers and was able to sell our cabin for over asking price!"

"My family and I could not appreciate Kelli Haus any more than we do. She has helped us by multiple cabins over the years, both new construction and an existing cabin. When we first talked on the phone it seemed we had so many questions for her. She answered all with her knowledge and expertise as a STR cabin investor herself, but she also educated us on many things about the market we did not even know to ask. She steered us away from cabins that potentially would have received bad reviews from guests and helped us find the absolute best investments. Our goal is to follow in her footsteps and buy one income property a year. We are very grateful for her advice and help in the past and look forward to working with her again in the future.”"

"Kelli is one of the most tenacious realtors you will ever meet. When other agents give you the answer you want to hear, Kelli gives you the truth. This is vital in today’s real estate market, and she’s well equipped to help in whatever aspect of the business someone is looking into. I’d highly recommend her to clients, family, and friends, and do on a regular basis! Thanks for being one of the best Kelli.” "
