You're Not Ready to Partner Yet.
But You Want the Framework.
Maybe you're still building capital. Maybe you want to understand the numbers before you deploy. Maybe you just want to know what separates a Top 1% STR from the 99% that underperform. This playbook gives you that edge.
Most STR Investors Lose Before They Start.
They buy in the wrong market. They don't know how to underwrite. They hire a property manager who takes 25–40% and does the bare minimum. They have no exit strategy. The result? A $500K asset that generates less than a savings account.
This playbook fixes all of it. Market selection. Underwriting. Forced appreciation. Operations. Exit strategy. The framework behind properties that generate $100K–$200K+/yr in the Top 1–10% of their market.
Every Chapter. Every Framework.
This isn't theory. It's the exact playbook behind properties generating $100K–$200K+ per year in the top 1–10% of their market.
Markets We Operate or Target.
Hotel Markets We're Targeting.
Ross Stays partners with investors to acquire independent boutique hotels — 10 to 60 keys. These are the types of markets and properties we target.
A Decade of Results.
Not Theory.
A Global First.
Managed hotels. Landed institutional contracts. Among the first operators on the planet to put entire hotels and 5-star luxury resorts on Airbnb. Billions in assets across 5+ countries.
Hosts in the Space.
Taught hosts who became the largest operators in their cities. Multi-million dollar portfolios. Hundreds of units. Many now transitioning from management to ownership.
& Top 1% STR's.
Partners with developers and investors to acquire boutique hotels and Top 1% STRs. Co-owns 2 of the Top 20 out of 6,000+ listings in Calgary. $175K+/yr. Perfect 5.0.
Why ownership? COVID exposed the fundamental vulnerability of operating without owning. Even with contracts spanning billions in assets, no control meant no protection. That realization is why Ross Stays now acquires — not just manages. This is not arbitrage. This is ownership.
When Executed.
An investor deployed ~$275K all-in on a Calgary half duplex. Ross Stays waived upfront fees and earned equity through performance. The result:

Real Guests. Real Reviews.
Every review is from a verified guest across properties we operate and co-own.
