A bunch of us ladies are meeting up for coffee at:

The Great room Cafe in Redondo Beach, CA!

All are welcome.

We will be meeting this Sunday 11/7/21 at 10:30

Please RSVP or comment if you will be coming :)

Looking forward to meeting more women investors in the South Bay / LA areas!

This is a non-sponsored - no sales pitch group of women interested in meeting other women in the industry! 

@Dane Silchenstedt it looks cool But really geared toward multi ans long term rentals. Kind of a QuickBooks / management software for multiple LTR there are cool dashboards etc but I'm not sure if it would work well for STR and because I already use QuickBooks and a bunch of other softwares to manage my STR it's not a great fit for what I need. Hope that helps. Check it out it's free if you have LTRs

I like the blue. Haha I think this is kind of a silly question because there is no ALWAYS. I usually design to my client and or architecture of the space or a mood I am trying to create. 

HI Shiva,

I live right down the street! I will be there! 

UPDATE: STESSA LOOKS AWESOME! thanks everyone 

haha thanks all - I do like a good excel sheet! I was just looking for something more automated to track my whole financial picture, including multiple companies P&L. I will see what STESSA is and report back.

I will add that airbnb mixes all of the income together, I don't see how to separate by listing on that website but YourPorter which I just started using as a channel manager does separate income by listing for those with STRs. I have those going into excel currently. I then have a separate quick books account for each LLC. I am trying to build a super organized foundation so as I scale I can easily track everything. What has been working for me for expense tracking is separate credit cards and bank accounts for each business and trying not to comingle. I find this hard when I just want to use my costco card or target card- also wondering if people open these special cards for each business?

Thanks everyone I will look up Stessa! I can’t use qb classes because I have different partners on different companies/ properties so use completely different QuickBooks accounts to keep the books separate. 

Hi all,
I am looking for a software or spread sheet that will track cash flow/ financials from multiple properties. I have a separate quickbook accounts for each account but I am looking for a way to see my total financial picture in one place. Does this exist? Maybe someone has created a spreadsheet they would share?  

Hi Philip, Congratulations! I’m not sure what you mean? We are very happy with our investment there :) what do you mean by team up? Feel free to DM me if you have specific goals or questions   I do work with some experienced investors as a realtor if that’s what you mean? Wish you best of luck with your investment! 

HI Lucy,

Yes STRs are getting more and more regulated but you can still find them. The market is a bit crazy but my buyers are still having luck in Big Bear, certain HOAs in the desert, Joshua tree and yucca valley as well as along the coast near Santa Barbara. We are also seeing multi family prices dipping and an opportunity to buy into that type of investment. Areas that are going big in STR are having housing shortages. It depends on if you are seeking cash flow or long term appreciation in your investment model. Also its COMPETITIVE right now. There is a major lack of inventory so we can go over what that will mean for your as in investor but basically anyone buying right now needs to have a Strong offer, meaning, less or no contingencies and some cash if possible, will give you a little leverage. We are seeing 35 offers on some places, its a bit crazy. Happy to chat with you
