Agent & Investor | Learning, Partnering & Creating Design-Focused Deals

Member since 2025 · 4 posts · 6 votes

Hi everyone – I’m Ariel.

I’m a real estate agent in Austin, TX with a background in hospitality, design, and customer experience. I also own and manage a top-rated short-term rental in Washington, DC, and my family has a property on Block Island, RI.

I’m here to:

  • Learn from and connect with other investor-friendly agents in the area to potentially partner or team up.
  • Build relationships with investors and explore creative strategies—off-market opportunities, multifamily, boutique hotels, and short- to mid-term rental investments.
  • Combine my hospitality and design expertise with solid investment strategies to create properties that perform well and stand out.

I’m looking to grow as an investor myself while being a resource to other investor-friendly agents and investors. If you’re open to sharing insights or collaborating, I’d love to connect.

    Welcome, Ariel , sounds like you’re bringing a strong mix of design, hospitality, and real estate savvy to the table. That combo is powerful, especially in markets like Austin where curated short and mid-term rentals can really shine.

    Your background in STRs and boutique property design could add major value in partnerships with investors who need help making their properties stand out and cash flow. Keep leaning into those creative, off-market strategies, that's where a lot of today's best deals are born.

    Hey Ariel, you've got a strng mix of skills and real estate all tied together, plus hands-on experience running a top-rated STR. That combo is perfect for creating properties that perform well and stand out.

    Austin's a great place to connect with investor-friendly agents and creative deal makers, and there's a lot of opportunity in the short- to mid-term rental space if you structure it right. Also, since you're active in STRs, definitely worth looking into the STR loophole, it can be a big help tax-wise if you manage them yourself. You'll find plenty of like-minded people here to collaborate with.
