Hey everyone — glad to be here. I’m a real estate investor, agent, and active Airbnb host based in Bryan–College Station, TX. My wife and I currently operate 8 Airbnbs, primarily using a hybrid mid-term / short-term rental model. Most of our units are 2 bed / 1.5 bath units in fourplexes, which has been a very scalable setup for us. We got started in 2021 by renting out a room in our primary residence on Airbnb. That first listing snowballed into the portfolio we have today, so we’ve seen both the scrappy early-stage side and the operational side of scaling. Overall, Airbnb has been a huge net positive for us, but lately we’ve been paying closer attention to fee structure changes—specifically fees being shifted to hosts instead of guests—and how that impacts margins, especially for operators running tighter models. Looking forward to connecting with other investors here, comparing notes, and sharpening the model as the landscape continues to change. — Greg

Glad you're here. I started strIQ because I was tired of guessing. My first short-term rental was in Fredericksburg, TX in 2020 — scared, limited capital, wishing something like this existed. That property did 60% cash-on-cash. But I got lucky. I don't want you to need luck.

Hey everyone! My wife and I have been investing in STR's for about a year, we currently have two properties one near the Smoky Mountains and the other in Knoxville TN. We just launched our place in the Smokies a couple of weeks ago and now it's time to start looking for the next one! Excited to utilize STRIQ to find our next place

Hi Everyone, I am a mom and a wife first but also a STR owner and operator living in Littleton, CO and looking to scale in the Rockies. Specifically Breckenridge and Vail. I plan to buy and manage a property in the Rockies next year and want to scale aggressively from there. I am looking to Partner with investors #Partnerships. Let me know if are interested in investing in the Rockies.

I’m Leslie, the Customer Success Lead here at StrIQ, which basically means I get to help you find great deals, cheer you on, and make sure you’re getting the absolute most out of this platform. (Yes, I really do love my job.) On the personal side—I’ve been married for just over 7 years, but we like to joke that it feels more like 27. 😂 We’re a blended family with four teenagers (send snacks… and prayers), and we also have the best dog in the world, who is the only one in the house who listens consistently. I’m still fairly new to the STR world, but learning it has been so much fun—and helping our subscribers has honestly become my favorite part of this journey. My husband and I hope to have 3–5 STR properties one day, so I’m in the trenches with you building toward that dream. I can’t wait to get to know all of you, hear your stories, and support you as you build your STR goals. Let’s do this! 💙🏡✨
