Ever considered owning a “boring old business” (BOB) with steady cash flow and exclusive access to off-market real estate deals? 👀

Join us May 15, 2025, from 12–1 PM PST—in person or online—for a game-changing session with Brooke Hesseltine on BOB Acquisition.

Brooke owns a property management company that brings in multiple six figures annually—but the real kicker?

She’s got a front-row seat to tired landlords looking to offload their rentals. That means first dibs on off-market deals before they ever hit the MLS.

This is the part of the game no one’s talking about—and it’s wide open for savvy investors ready to expand beyond the usual buy-and-hold.

We’ll break down:
🔍 Finding the Right BOB – Profitable, low-drama biz + stable cash flow
📊 Evaluating the Deal – How to run the numbers like an investor
🤝 Negotiating Seller Carry – Creative structures to buy without a bank
🏡 Real Estate Synergy – How BOBs unlock cash flow and investment deals

Agenda:
12:00–12:15 – Introductions
12:15–1:00 – Presentation + Q&A

You’ll leave this session:
✅ Fired up about acquiring your own cash-flowing biz
✅ Equipped with tactics to structure smart deals
✅ Motivated to build a business that feeds your real estate goals

AirDNA is certainly the most comprehensive data source to see aggregated occupancy, nightly rates, and revenue estimates.

However, keep in mind that AirDNA is using historical data (from the past 1-2 years) and those years were anomolies due to the pandemic. Vacation rental occpuancy and revenues were MUCH higher during the pandemic as folks looked for places to staycation, work remotely, etc. So use AirDNA as one data point, and seek out other data to validate.

I suggest to my vacation rental buyers to look at revenues from 2019 or prior (if available for active STRs) in order to get a more accurate picture of occupancy, nightly rates, and overall projected revenue. Otherwise you may be disappointed if you're only looking at revenues from 2020 - 2022 pandemic years.

@Michael Baum Would you be able to send me a copy of your contract as well? Many thanks in advance!

Or if you want to order their forms directly from their website, here you go! https://stevensness.com/

They're super helpful and all their forms are customized to Oregon laws.

Good luck with your seller finance deal!
