Fit

This is deliberately
not for everyone.

A good fit

  • +You want the asset on your balance sheet, not a new job.
  • +You have capital ready and a timeline in mind.
  • +You would rather pay for judgement than learn by mistake.

Not a fit

  • –You want to learn the business and run it yourself.
  • –You are looking for the cheapest possible route in.
  • –You want to approve every vendor and every decision.

If the right column sounds more like you, we will tell you so on the call.

Shawn Moore, founder of Vodyssey

Who runs it

Twenty years in.
Still an operator.

He bought his first vacation rental in 2006 and has been buying, building and running them ever since. Not a commentator on the asset class. An owner in it.

The team he built underwrites markets, negotiates deals, furnishes homes and runs operations every single day. That team is what you are actually hiring.
