Portfolio expansion
Grow without buying the wrong unit.
Most managers only run the units you already have. We also find the next ones: off-market units and owner deals, vetted against five checks before you see them. Most never make it to you.

- RulesPermits, HOA and city ordinance checked before an offer
- NumbersNet after every fee, at a conservative occupancy
- Owner termsLease or management terms that leave you the upside

Us vs. traditional PM
Why operators outgrow their current manager.
Portfolio management and portfolio growth are not the same service. Most short term rental management companies only offer one of them.

Operators who handed over the day‑to‑day.
These are the words of owners who moved from self-managing, or a traditional manager, into a growth-focused partnership.
“I was doing everything myself, pricing, guest texts, cleaner scheduling, and still felt behind. Three months in, my occupancy was up and I hadn't answered a single guest message myself. It gave me my evenings back.”
“What sold me was that they actually go find new properties. I added two units to my portfolio in under a year without doing any of the legwork myself.”
“Our direct booking site started paying for our monthly fee within the first two months just from commission we weren't paying anymore. That alone made switching worth it.”
FAQ
What operators want to know first.
The questions that come up most before an operator moves their portfolio to StriveStays.
Yes. Most only manage what you already own. We also source new units for you, run daily revenue optimization through a dedicated team, and include a direct booking site, all built to grow your portfolio, not just maintain it.
A flat monthly fee per listing plus a small percentage of revenue, so we're only paid more when you earn more. Rates improve as your portfolio scales, and there's no separate onboarding fee.
We're built specifically for operators running 7 to 50+ listings, where dedicated pricing and sourcing systems make the biggest difference.
If we miss our projected revenue uplift within 90 days, that month's fee is waived automatically. You're not paying for a promise that didn't land.
No. Every plan runs month to month, and you can leave anytime. We keep clients by delivering results, not by enforcing terms.
No. You keep full ownership and make the final call on every decision. We handle daily operations and loop you in through reporting and quarterly planning.
Most operators see their first sourced opportunity within 60 to 90 days of onboarding, depending on their target market.
