We help you acquire, design, project manage, and launch luxury vacation rentals in Arizona’s top destinations.

Working with Mike Stone is different than working with a traditional real estate agent because most realtors are not sufficiently experienced with investment properties to know what makes a great deal. Mike Stone Group specializes exclusively in short term rental investment properties (Airbnb). We analyze actual STR revenue data and renovation costs before recommending any deal. We build a bespoke acquisition strategy around your specific budget and goals.

Tailored strategies for airbnb investors

Short term rentals provide 4 specific benefits:

1) Cash flow
2) Forced appreciation through value add
3) Organic market appreciation
4) Tax strategies, including the STR tax loophole and
cost segregation studies to offset your redesign budget.

We will help you identify your most powerful wealth building strategy.
