Student feedback
What people are saying.
Individual experiences vary. Testimonials do not guarantee future performance. Outcomes depend on effort, market conditions, capital, timing, and other factors.
The market-to-deal method
What Chris and Ashton will break down live.

Choose where to focus
Learn how to compare markets instead of defaulting to the places you already know or the markets getting the most attention.
02
Build a workable buy box
Connect your income goals, available capital, property type, financing, and management approach so your search has real boundaries.
03
Run the numbers
Project revenue and expenses, challenge assumptions, and identify the information you still need before you move forward.
04
Plan the path to launch
See where creative financing, portfolio tracking, simple automations, and AI can support the work without pretending the business runs itself.

Is this for you?
Built for clarity, not hype.
This is for you if…
- You are a working professional, veteran, business owner, or high-income earner exploring STR investing.

- You want to understand potential cash-flow and tax considerations before taking action.
- You are willing to research, validate assumptions, and do the work.
Who This Is Not For
Just to be transparent:
- This is not for people expecting overnight results.Building a profitable Airbnb business takes real decisions, real effort, and real commitment over time.
- This is not for anyone who isn’t willing to do the work.Our most successful students show up, follow the strategy, and execute.
- This is not for people with zero available capital.While there are lower-cost entry strategies, some financial foundation is required to get started.
- This is not for people who want to collect information indefinitely without taking action.This training is built for people who are ready to move.
