Florida is the United States' largest short-term-rental market; California is where equity compounds for decades. The difference between a great asset and a money pit is anatomy, not luck — Marianna runs the analysis with you before you write the offer.
Investment strategies
Duplexes, triplexes, and small apartment buildings: multiple rents from one purchase. If one unit sits vacant, the others keep paying. I analyze every unit's numbers with you before you offer.
High nightly income — but only with the right property, in the right zone, with the right rules. I find STR-approved properties and run honest revenue projections.
Annual leases, predictable cash flow, lower turnover, and appreciation over time. The stable core of any portfolio — and the ideal first investment.
Buy under market, renovate smart, sell for profit. I help you find undervalued properties, estimate after-repair value honestly, and connect you with flip-specialized contractors and lenders — so your margin exists before you buy, not just on paper.
