Akash Kakumani

About Me I specialize in short-term rental investing, market analysis, and real estate technology. Coming from a 10+ year background as a Software Engineer focused on big data systems, I leverage data-driven strategies to acquire, optimize, and scale real estate assets. My real estate portfolio currently focuses on high-performing short-term rentals in California, including active properties in the Coachella Valley and near Yosemite (Oakhurst), with plans for continued expansion. What I Do & How We Work Portfolio Strategy & Tax Optimization: Transitioned into the STR space to leverage high cash-flow potential alongside strategic tax benefits (including the STR tax loophole). Real Estate & Tech Synergies: Partner with my wife, a licensed real estate agent specializing in short-term rentals, to evaluate deals, streamline underwriting, and optimize property operations using custom data tools and analytics. Property Operations: Hands-on experience managing and scaling vacation rentals from acquisition to guest experience and revenue management. Connecting on BiggerPockets Always open to connecting with fellow investors, STR operators, and agents looking to scale their portfolio through smart acquisition strategies, technology, and market data.
