We operate short-term rentals end to end. Yours could be next.
Stays Optimized is the property-management company behind PropertyIQ. Owners hire us when the analysis is finished and the operating begins.
We started as operators. We built PropertyIQ because we needed better data for our own acquisitions. Now both sides of that work are available to owners who want to run their short-term rental the same way we run ours.
We maximize the revenue of short-term rental properties in markets we know, for owners who want professional operations without the daily involvement.
Operator track record, address by address.
Hudson Valley, New York
Retreat House, Hudson Valley NY.
A four-bedroom farmhouse on twelve acres that had been operating well below its potential under self-management. We took over the listing, rebuilt the presentation, repriced dynamically against the Catskills comp set, and added weekend concierge packages. Occupancy climbed through the year. The owner had been considering a long-term tenant. They are no longer considering it.
| Engagement | Self-managed to fully operated. |
| Approach | Listing rebuild + dynamic pricing |
Charlotte, North Carolina
Chadmore, Charlotte NC.
A three-bedroom midtown property purchased as an investment with no prior rental history. We modelled the revenue before the owner closed, delivered the PropertyIQ report, and were retained to manage before the keys were handed over. The property went live within days of ownership. The owner lives two states away and has never seen the house after the inspection.
| Engagement | Underwritten before close. |
| Approach | Report to live listing |
Pompano Beach, Florida
Pompano Waterfront, Pompano Beach FL.
A five-bedroom canal-front property in Broward County, underwritten at acquisition and managed since. The owners use the property a couple of weeks each year. The rest of the year it carries the mortgage, the insurance, and the management fee with room to spare.
| Engagement | Underwritten at acquisition, managed since. |
| Approach | Year-round canal-front operations |
Every engagement begins with a report.
We do not take on properties we have not underwritten. The report tells us whether the property pencils at our fee structure and tells you whether the income justifies professional management.
From report to live listing: typically eighteen to twenty-one days.
Underwriting only.
