A person can be selling a property with a NOI of $100k and ask $4m, the CAP rate will reflect that their expectations are too high (for an investor at least) and all the market factors, location, comps, fed rates, will put their expectations on a leash (or justify it). 

Also a side note, when looking at an STR investment in Austin, factor in the high annual property taxes that can get up around 2% of the appraised value of the house (ie house appraised at $500,000, pay $10k/year in property taxes)Hope this helps.
