As of October 2026, we analyzed 1,466 active for-sale homes in Hollywood, Florida. The typical listing is priced at $515,000 and is projected to generate about $59,043 a year as a short-term rental.
After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 37.1% of those homes could still cover an investor mortgage payment on short-term-rental income — below the 53.1% median across the 200 major metros we track, ranking Hollywood #153 of 200 for cash-flow potential.
On market momentum: homes in Hollywood sit a median of 96 days on the market, and 19% of active listings came on in just the last 30 days — a slower-moving market, which shapes how much room there is to negotiate.
For a DSCR loan — which qualifies on the property's rental income rather than your personal income — Hollywood runs tighter once operating costs are accounted for: many listings need a below-median price, a stronger short-term-rental setup, or more money down before the income covers the payment. It's a market where running the numbers property-by-property matters.

Hollywood works for investors, but the window is specific: 223 of the 1,251 Hollywood homes, condos and townhomes we can price confidently clear a DSCR of 1.25. Nine in ten of them are priced under $597,000.

Darker means a larger share of that group cash-flows. “—” means fewer than 8 active listings — too few to draw a conclusion from.
