Buy the right property. Run it like a business.

We’re Ken and Moya. At peak we ran fifteen rentals across two countries and three very different markets, seven of them short-term — while Ken owned and operated a live music venue and Moya, a former teacher, worked full time as a nanny. We ran all of it together: both underwriting, both cleaning, both answering the midnight messages. More about how we got here →

Who this is for

Most people come to short-term rentals with one of two problems — you haven’t bought yet and don’t want to make a six-figure mistake, or you’re already hosting and the work has quietly taken over your life. This is built for both, because both have the same root.
