Solis Team Real Estate

It’s officially been one year of owning our short-term rental(s) and these are my top takeaways/tips if you’re considering purchasing one in the near future!

1 ▫️ Don’t expect to make money your first year (in our market at least). Breaking even is a huge win. If you purchased a property recently with the intent to short-term rent it, then most likely you bought in at a high price with a high rate- unless you paid cash. Between your mortgage, set-up costs, maintenance, damage, cleaners, theft, management fees, canceled bookings- breaking even is a WIN. Remember that it’s a longterm equity play and having properties in your portfolio is the big picture goal.

2▫️ Management: we self-manage our STR’s. If you don’t intend to, expect to pay 20-30% in management fees which will majorly cut into your profits. Be cautious of who you hire. A lot of management companies aren’t hands-on and I often see STR’s sitting vacant due to pricing and lack of attention, when ours is fully booked.

3▫️ Adjust daily: I’m on the app daily adjusting pricing, photos, messaging guests etc., which is why a lot of STR management companies don’t do a good job for their clients. Airbnb, like every other app, wants you to engage. The more you update and adjust, the more they push out your listing.

4▫️ Your neighbors are your best friends. Most neighborhoods hate STR’s and are fighting against them. If you’re purchasing one, meet the neighbors first and see who you’re dealing with. If there’s ever an issue, you want them calling you, not the city or the cops.

5▫️ Bring the BnB back to Airbnb: Airbnb has been getting hate for years now due to the fees, lack of quality, saturation, etc. To maintain good reviews and return guests, treat your STR like a bed & breakfast/luxury hotel- champagne for celebrations, personal notes, etc., go a long way.

Welcome to Oceanside!

“We truly couldn't have dreamt up a better real estate team. We worked closely with Mike, Jess and Kalyn throughout the entire process - their kindness, knowledge, diligence, guidance and ex*****on were next to none. As I'm sure folks attempting to buy in SD can attest to, buying in this current market is HARD! My husband and I were searching in a very specific area of Oceanside, and very few properties were coming onto the market that could offer us exactly what we were hoping for. We'd been working with other teams to no avail, and with little traction. Enter the Solis Team Real Estate. My husband and I felt so listened to and seen by this team - they constantly went above and beyond for us - scoping, researching, comping, checking in, and showed up for us whenever we needed them. We knew they had our backs, and that we could really trust them. As one (of many) examples of this sweet team going above and beyond - Kalyn literally went door to door to over 100 homes for us in the Seaside neighborhood of Oceanside to try to help us generate an off-market deal when no homes were being listed. Talk about extraordinary! She offered to do this on her own volition - we were BLOWN AWAY! I'll fast forward to this - I write this review sitting in our dream home - the dream home that the Solis Team made happen. My husband and I wake up each day in our new community with such gratitude for our new digs, our proximity to surf, and the lasting relationship that we've created with Mike, Jess, and Kalyn. These aren't folks you just want around for a deal, you want them around, period. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”
