How do I know if a property is eligible for short-term rental use?
icon

Every city and county has its own STR regulations and zoning rules. Before you make an offer, we review the property’s location, licensing requirements, and occupancy limits to ensure it’s compliant saving you time, money, and future headaches.

How can I estimate how much revenue a property will generate?
icon

We’ll work with local property managers to obtain detailed revenue projections using real market data, local occupancy trends, and input to enhance occupancy. You’ll see potential income, seasonality, and rough estimated expenses before purchasing.

What financing options are available for short-term rentals?
icon

Traditional lenders don’t always understand STRs, which is why we connect buyers with lenders offering DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) and second-home loan programs that qualify based on property income potential rather than personal income alone.

Are there tax advantages to owning a short-term rental?
icon

Yes, in many cases. STR ownership can offer unique tax benefits such as bonus depreciation, cost segregation, and active-participation deductions - though eligibility varies. We’ll connect you with STR-savvy tax professionals to explore your specific options. (Always consult your CPA.)

What support do I get after closing?
icon

We don’t disappear once the deal is done. Our network includes vetted property managers, cleaners, interior designers, pricing experts, and tech vendors - giving you a pathway from purchase to revenue.
