Saturday, October 17, 2026 Doors 8:30 AM · Workshop 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM AZREIA Office, 4527 N 16th St #105, Phoenix, AZ 85016 |
Lunch provided. Only 30 seats - when the bus is full, it is full.
At the October monthly meeting, Jeremy Holden pulls apart the myth that short-term rentals are passive income and shows you what the business actually looks like. This is the day you go do it.
Most people who want to own a short-term rental get stuck in the same place. They can find listings. They can read revenue estimates. What they cannot do is look at a specific property in a specific Phoenix neighborhood and say with any confidence whether it will work - what it will earn, what it will cost to set up, what it takes to run once guests start arriving.
That gap does not close by reading more. It closes by sitting down with someone who operates these properties, running the numbers the way an operator runs them, and then standing inside a working short-term rental and seeing the decisions in physical form.
Market research: how to read a submarket and tell demand from wishful thinking. Financial modeling: the real numbers, including the costs most projections leave out. Setup: what it actually takes to get a property guest-ready and what it costs. Operations: what your week looks like once the property is live.
We board a bus and tour two live short-term rentals in the Phoenix market. You will see how each one is furnished and positioned, what the owner got right, what they would do differently, and how the numbers from the morning show up in a real property.
What you take home
The STR deal calculator - the same model used in the morning session, yours to run on your own deals. Lunch is provided. You leave with a framework you can apply to the next property you look at, not a folder of notes.
Who this is for
Investors considering their first short-term rental, owners with one property who want to operate it better, and anyone who has been researching this for months without pulling the trigger. No prior STR experience needed.
Seats
Thirty seats, set by the capacity of the bus. When it is full, it is full. There is no waitlist or overflow room for the afternoon tour.
