OCG PROPERTIES

Stop comparing your listing to the wrong comps.

Not all revenue numbers are created equal.

If you’re not adjusting for:
🚪 Bedroom/bath count
🏊 Amenities like pools & gyms
📆 Days actually available
💤 Max guest capacity

…then your projections are way off.

Professional operators don’t guess.
They normalize data.
They compare apples to apples, and make smarter buys.

Don’t sleep on short-term rental tax breaks.

Most investors miss this.
Short-term rentals offer massive tax advantages over long-term rentals… if you play it right.

Here’s why STRs win:
💰 Furniture = bonus depreciation (year one write-off)
🛠️ Prove 100+ hours of active involvement
📉 Use cost segregation to wipe out W-2 income

Yes, you read that right, your W-2 income.
This isn’t just passive losses anymore.

Structure it smart, and you don’t just earn more…

Never buy blind.

The #1 mistake in short-term rentals?
Picking a market before checking the numbers.

You need to know:
❌ How many similar units already exist
❌ Which listings are actually performing
✅ What your occupancy should be
✅ What unit types people actually book

It’s not about finding a pretty property.
It’s about finding the right data-backed opportunity.

Don’t fall in love with the listing.
Fall in love with the numbers.

❌ Don’t bet everything on one asset class, even real estate.

I’ve flipped 1,000+ houses.
Raised $200M for real estate deals.
Lend to investors across the U.S.

But I don’t keep all my capital in real estate.

Here’s why:

⚖️ I diversify into uncorrelated assets

💰 Accounts receivable + litigation financing

🌿 Cannabis + commodities (gold/silver)

🔁 Multiple streams of cash flow, not just doors

Real estate is one cash flow engine.

The wealthy build many.
