I've got some news—and I'm honestly so pumped to share it. The past year, I've poured everything into two things at once: Freedom Investor Academy and strIQ. Late nights, lots of learning, and meeting some of the best people I know. And now? strIQ is taking off in ways I always hoped and prayed for: - ~1,000 customers on the platform - Passed $100K ARR - $1M Seed round closing this week! God is good. It made me step back and ask where I'm really meant to focus. After a lot of prayer and reflection, the answer is clear: it's time to go all in on strIQ. That means I'll be pressing pause on Freedom Investor Academy—not because anything's wrong, but because something's going really right. I want to serve you better with total focus. So here's where I'll be: strIQ Squad It's a free community for education, training, deal sharing, partnerships, and networking. And here's what matters most to me: I want your feedback as we build strIQ 2.0. Not building in a vacuum—building together. The platform we all wish existed. If you joined this community for the faith element, that's not going anywhere. Faith is one of strIQ's three core values. It's in the DNA. If God's not in this, it's not worth doing. As much as I'd love to build a $100M company, what actually gets me out of bed is the life change—people building wealth, making real connections, and hopefully encountering Jesus through the culture we create together. Exciting things ahead—and I want you there for it! 👉 https://www.skool.com/striqsquad/about Let's go! Matt

The picture is a screenshot of STRIQ & the top property is actually my property. It definitely is not making $121,408 (I wish!). Since this is so drastically off, how can I make sure the data is correct?

Matt - are you still doing office hour calls?

I am wanting to buy a primary residence with my boyfriend (he’s a realtor with 1099 income & has one LTR). I own a private practice of dietitians (scorp) & have the 1 STR (not currently in an LLC, but it’s on the list of things to do). I own two single family residences (currently in my own name). One is a full time STR & the other one is currently my primary residence, but will become an STR when I move out. Boyfriend will also LTR his residence once we move. I’m having trouble qualifying for a mortgage due to the DTI restrictions without long term residential leases on both properties. Who are some lenders that take into account (1) STR income (yes, it is shown on my tax return) & (2) STR projections for my primary residence. I met with Parker (Matt''s recommendation) but wanted to have a few options. Thanks in advance!

I am curious what conferences everyone is attending in 2025. I would love to meet some others from this group.
