Real estate and other investments come with inherent risks, including potential legal claims and creditor issues.

It’s the approach.After working with investors from all over the country, including those who own $1, $5, $10, $15 Million Portfolios (of STR's, MTR's, LTR's) I felt it was necessary to pull from those experiences and share what STR operational playbook - Because after closing over $100M+ in transactions on the West Coast, I saw a blaring problem with short-term rental investors — and it’s not the one you think.

The good news is, you likely don’t need to overcomplicate things with equity shares to friends/family.Lenders (including ours) often offer a specific ‘Equity Buyout Refinance’ for divorce cases, where the buyout amount to your spouse is treated as a rate & term refinance instead of a cash-out.

Some cool benefits include their Lease Indiciation Tool (helps predict the likelihood of a tenant renewing the lease giving you the chance to renew early and/or increase monthly rent if you know someone wants to renew), Expense Tracking, Tenant Communication (via their app), Maintenance Requests, Tenant Payments, and more.
