LuxStay Capital

Turn your tax bill into an oceanfront asset. Nine years of operator-grade STR investing, now available to accredited investors.

Nine years. Five markets. 4,000+ guests and a 4.9-star average across six markets. A $15M Smoky Mountains syndication closed in 2024. We target 15% IRR over a 5 to 7 year hold, and we have the track record to back it.

Why STR Investing

Your Highest Expense Becomes Your Greatest Advantage

Illustrative Example: $1.5M STR Property

A cost-segregation study on a $1.5M short-term rental may identify $400,000 to $600,000 in accelerated depreciation eligible for Year 1 deduction. At a 37 to 40% effective tax rate, that translates to $148,000 to $240,000 in potential federal tax savings in a single year.

That is money you were going to pay the IRS anyway, redirected into an appreciating oceanfront asset.

And if the numbers do not work, we tell you. Every deal is scored by LuxScore before you commit. Properties below 70 are declined, even when it costs us the engagement. Your downside is a 30-minute conversation.

Estimate assumes 27 to 40% of purchase price in accelerated depreciation at a 37 to 40% effective rate. Tax outcomes vary by individual circumstance. LuxStay is not a licensed tax advisor. All tax decisions must be made with your CPA or tax attorney.
