Services · Phase 1 — Acquisition
Find the right property before you fall for the wrong one.
Most high earners are leaving serious money on the table every April. A short-term rental — bought right — throws off cash flow, appreciates, and can meaningfully cut your tax bill. The hard part is "bought right." That's what this service is for.
"Every doctor I know wants to invest in real estate — they just don't know where to start, who to trust, or how to get in. That's the gap we fill."
— Stephen Clairmont, Stay'ca
Before you buy anything
We make you look at three numbers
What it'll make
Real cash flow, underwritten before you buy — not a listing agent's "projected revenue." We run the comps, the seasonality, and the fees on every candidate property.
What it'll save
The part most high earners miss. With material participation, cost segregation, and bonus depreciation, a short-term rental can offset income from your day job.
What it'll cost you
In time — the honest number. Self-managing is a second job. With Stay'ca handling the launch and management, your job is reading the monthly statement.
We're operators, not accountants — bring your CPA, and we'll bring the numbers they need.
What's included
Boots on the ground, not a spreadsheet subscription
Market & location selection
We point you at streets, not just cities — in markets we already operate and know from years of bookings data, not a subscription dashboard.
Underwriting you can trust
Comps from our own portfolio and the market, seasonality, realistic expense loads, and channel fees. You see the deal the way an operator sees it.
A straight verdict
We're selective about what we manage, so we have no reason to talk you into a bad deal. If the numbers don't work, we'll tell you — and keep looking.
Offer through closing
Support on offer strategy, inspection flags that matter for STRs, and the local rules — permits, zoning, and compliance research before you commit.

Plug in your income and a purchase price — our calculator estimates the first-year depreciation benefit so you can see the three numbers for yourself before we ever talk.
