I got hurt. My income vanished overnight. I bet everything we had saved on one short-term rental and a 9.75% interest rate.

If you're solo or a W-2 employee with no other income stream, you are one bad day away from losing everything. One layoff. One injury. One diagnosis. No safety net, no Plan B.

I've helped hundreds of people build their Plan B, build a second income source, and build a real exit strategy — over several years, the right way.

I won't sugarcoat it: you're not one property away from bailing yourself or your spouse out. But start now, and it compounds. That's how you end up with an actual exit strategy instead of a plan you kept meaning to build.

I only coach a handful of people 1:1 each month. No team, no hand-off — you work directly with me. I built this while raising four kids, in a higher-rate environment, without a lucky two-year window to ride.

I firmly believe success comes down to outworking everyone else.

Now multiply that by two with your spouse
and changes everything

Alyse and I stay in our lanes
we complement each other

We lean into what we’re actually good at
and don’t force what we’re not

But we’re always aligned
on the vision and where we’re going
for our family and our businesses

What she hates, I handle
what I hate, she handles

That’s how we turn properties into experiences taken in United States by @kyle.a.paterson

Appreciate the shoutout @theairbnbdataguy 🙌

Always cool seeing someone who actually studies the data highlight one of our properties.

The truth is, the difference between an average Airbnb and a top-performing one usually comes down to intentional design and creating a guest experience people talk about. That’s something we obsess over on every project.

It’s also why we’re grateful to have amazing partners involved in these deals — building properties that truly stand out.

If you’re interested in being involved in future projects with us, feel free to shoot me a message. taken in United States by @kyle.a.paterson

There’s no secret market and no trick I’m holding back. What got me here was doing a handful of boring things over and over.

I run the numbers before I fall in love with a property. A good year and a bad year, real costs included. Furnishing, turnover, cleaning, platform fees, reserves. If the deal only works when everything goes right, I walk away.

I treat every property like a business. I know what sells in my market, which amenities my guests actually use, and what the numbers need to look like before I make an offer.

And I built it while working a job I couldn’t quit.

One property, bought right and run well, teaches you everything you need to go get the next one.

That same playbook has been used to help launch 100+ client properties across 30 states, and it’s the same one I’ve used to coach 200+ investors.

I built the STR Operator Circle to teach it. If you want to learn how to do this the right way, link in bio or DM me.

Unpopular opinion: My 1-bedroom is probably out-earning your 5-bedroom (in cash flow…not gross earnings).

Here’s why I’m sharing this.

We’ve been live for 3.5 months, and we’re pacing to collect (CASH FLOW….NET!!!) just over $19,620.16 by end of October (barring anything crazy unexpected).

This is what happens when you put all the pieces together the right way.

Finding the right market then property isn’t the finish line.
Designing it isn’t the finish line.
Launching it isn’t the finish line.
Getting guest favorite isn’t the finish line.
Getting top 5% of homes isn’t the finish line.

You have to bring it all together and CONTINUE to stay sharp.

The acquisition. The design. The launch. The management. The optimization. The automation. The pricing.

You get the point

In 2026, you can’t just get one piece right and expect the numbers to work. The operators who win are the ones who understand how all of it works together.

DM me OPERATOR if you’re ready to learn how to do this the right way.

If you’re a high-income W-2 earner, you can’t afford NOT to launch a short-term rental this year.

The good news is, ITS NOT TOO LATE.

This weekend, one of my clients went under contract. Today, another is writing an offer. Both are racing the same clock: getting a property bought, launched, and in-service for 2026 taxes.

Here’s why that clock matters 👇

As a W-2 earner, you can’t control much about your tax bill. A short-term rental is one of the few strategies that may let you use real estate losses against your active income. For that to work, a few things generally have to happen in the same tax year:

🏡 Close on the property
 🛋️ Have it furnished, listed, and in-service before December 31
 ⏱️ Materially participate, which commonly means 100+ hours on the business (one of several ways to satisfy this requirement)
 📅 Keep your average guest stay at 7 days or less

Pair that with a cost segregation study and bonus depreciation, and the first-year deductions can be significant.

The catch is that you have to actually operate the property. That’s exactly what I teach inside The STR Operator Circle. 🎯

Inside you get: ✅ An A-to-Z course: market research, deal underwriting, lending, escrow, design, launch, and operations ✅ Weekly live live calls with me ✅ Monthly guest experts: cost segregation, CPA, STR attorney, insurance, and pricing experts ✅ My market discovery and deal underwriting tools ✅ A community of operators doing this right now, plus lifetime access ✅ Optional 1:1 work directly with me, not a junior coach

I’ve personally coached 200+ investors. I’ll help you from finding the market to booking your first guest to continued management.

It’s not too late for 2026. But if you want to make it happen, you need to move this week (LITERALLY)

Comment “OPERATOR” or DM me to see if your timeline still works.

General education, not tax advice. Every situation is different, so talk with your CPA before you buy.

Listed at $1.2M. Under contract at $1.1M. Seller covering $66K in closing costs.

But here’s what matters just as much: who you work with matters.

My clients needed to move quickly to pursue their year-end tax strategy, and I was literally FaceTiming them and my trusted agent over the weekend to get this deal in contract.

I’ve helped 200+ investors and worked through hundreds of escrows across 30+ states. I’ve seen firsthand what works and what doesn’t.

You can’t afford to buy a property just because it looks cool or feels like a fun deal. The numbers, strategy, negotiation, and execution all matter.

That’s why I work 1 on 1 with my clients inside the STR Operator Circle. You get my experience and perspective when it’s time to make real decisions, not just a course telling you what to do.

Want that kind of support on your next deal? DM me “OPERATOR.” taken in United States by @kyle.a.paterson

In general, Tahoe isn’t considered a great STR market.

And I actually agree.

But I also think there’s a ton of opportunity here if you know what you’re looking for.

Couple the right property with great design, amenities and an exceptional guest experience, and I think you can create some pretty dand powerful returns.

I previewed 6 properties today for a client, 3 on the California side and 3 on the Nevada side.

Two very different markets.

I helped one investor launch in Tahoe last year, and their property is absolutely crushing it.

I’m also betting on Tahoe personally. (Currently 1031’ing an out of state rental into Tahoe)

The point isn’t that Tahoe is some slam dunk STR market.

It’s nuanced.

If you can find the right balance between the lifestyle play and the business play, I think there’s a massive opportunity.

That’s exactly what I’m looking for, both for my clients and myself.

In a market like Tahoe, who you work with matters.

Thinking about investing in Tahoe? Send me a DM. This is one of those markets where strategy matters.
