The gap between buying and earning
Most first-time short-term rental investors lose three to six months between closing and their first booking. Furnishing takes longer than expected. Permitting is slower than expected. The photography is done on a phone. The listing goes live in the wrong season with no reviews and no ranking on any platform.
Those months are the most expensive of the whole investment, because the carrying costs start at closing and the revenue does not.
What we handle
1. Market and submarket selection, based on regulation as much as returns. A great yield in a city about to ban short-term letting is not a great yield.
2. Sourcing and underwriting. Realistic revenue modelling, not brochure numbers.
3. Permitting and registration before you commit.
4. Furnishing and setup to our property standard.
5. Photography, listing creation and channel distribution.
6. Launch pricing designed to build reviews and ranking quickly.
7. Ongoing management.
