Hey everyone! Happy Monday 🎉I wanted to point you all to our list of trusted vendors in the Classroom linked HERE. These are people/companies we would 10/10 recommend for your STRs. We've got every category you could think of from designers to lenders to managers. If you know someone/a company that we should connect with to feature, comment below!

Hello, my name is Jaime. I currently own one STR Vacation home in PA and am operating 6 units in Dallas through STR Arbitrage. Current stage is hunting and scaling on the arbitrage side so I can use the cash flow to fund purchases. 90 day goal is to add 5-15 units, to create $7-$10k in net income. I saw an add for StrIQ and it seems to fit with my goal of scaling, although it seems more focused on purchases. We kind of started backwards, operates full duplexes with all the usual house costs and maintenance. We have since built our Tech stack to help automate. We have a great team in Dallas, so that is an opportunity to scale. However, we also want to diversify so that we can minimize the effects of location and seasonality fluctuations. We are considering a focused marketing effort for MTR and corporate MTR rentals, and we are focused on moving off ABNB to limit fees. I look forward to meeting others, finding solutions, and helping all of us achieve our goals.

Hi everyone! I’m Audrey from Naperville, Illinois, although my husband Joe and I own and operate our short-term rental, Timberwilde Retreat, in San Antonio, Texas. I’d consider myself to be in Stage 4 – Scaling. We currently own one STR that has been closed for the past several weeks while we completed a full renovation, redesigned the guest experience, and repositioned the property to compete at a much higher level. We’re relaunching after July 7 and are already thinking about what Property #2 looks like. My 90-day goal is to successfully relaunch Timberwilde Retreat, increase our annual revenue into the upper tier of our market, continue building our direct booking foundation, and put ourselves in a position to confidently purchase our next STR. The biggest thing holding me back right now is balancing cash flow with long-term investments. Every decision seems to come down to, “Do I invest in growing the current property, or do I preserve capital for the next one?” I’m also looking for better tools and better data to help me make those decisions with confidence—which is what brought me to STRiQ. Looking forward to learning from everyone and hopefully contributing along the way!

Hi - just joined the group. I have a STR in Annapolis, Maryland but live in Dallas, Texas and am looking for my next one to purchase - excited to use strIQ to help me make the purchase decision!
