OPPORTUNITY INTELLIGENCE AND LEASE UNDERWRITING

Run the business like an operator, not a gambler.

Built for short-term (nightly) and mid-term (monthly) rental operators. Stay Stax finds where furnished-rental opportunity is and which strategy fits, checks legality and landlord permission, and underwrites the specific lease with conservative math. One platform for people who would rather see the evidence than buy the hype.

01

Find compliant deals, not just listings.

An opportunity map scores submarkets by spread, demand, and regulatory stability. Parcel-level zoning and ordinance monitoring flag where rentals are legal before you sign.

02

Underwrite with conservative math.

A nine-gate deal screener models effective rent after concessions, forward occupancy pacing, and a survival case at low occupancy. Deals pass only when they truly work.

03

Win the lease.

A landlord pipeline with personalized outreach scripts and concession intelligence that tells you how many free weeks to ask for, by market and season.

04

Operate the whole portfolio.

One queue ranked by dollar impact, lease-liability tracking, STR and mid-term-rental intelligence, a calendar with Google sync, and severity-routed alerts.

05

Evidence on every number.

Hover any figure to see its source and freshness. Nothing is hidden, nothing is inflated, and every number traces back to its source.

What Stay Stax is

Furnished-rental opportunity intelligence, plus lease underwriting.

Built for short-term (nightly) and mid-term (monthly) rental operators. Find where the opportunity is, then underwrite the specific lease.

1 · Opportunity intelligence

See where furnished-rental opportunity is and which strategy fits: spread, demand drivers classified STR vs mid-term, legality by parcel, and landlord permission.

2 · Lease underwriting

Underwrite a specific lease with explicit gates and a pass/fail verdict. STR underwriting is live; mid-term underwriting is rolling out.

The wedge: the Permission Layer →The market case →

Two strategies, one workflow

Short-term or mid-term, underwritten the same disciplined way.

STR — nightly

Demand from tourism, events, and airport traffic. Underwritten on nightly ADR and occupancy, with forward pacing and a conservative survival case.

MTR — monthly

Demand from travel nurses, corporate relocations, and insurance housing, with longer average stays. Underwritten on monthly rates rather than nightly turnover.

The honest mid-term edge

Most short-term-rental ordinances target stays under 30 days, so 30+ day mid-term rentals often fall outside them, which means mid-term can be viable in places where short-term is restricted. This is general guidance, not legal advice. Verify the rule for your specific address and city before you commit.

Mid-term opportunity intelligence is live today; mid-term lease underwriting is rolling out.

STR and mid-term are a toggle on the same deal, not two separate products. Stay Stax underwrites either strategy across whatever capital structure you use, whether you lease and re-rent (arbitrage), own the unit, or co-host for someone else.

The Permission Layer

The hard part isn't finding revenue data. It's knowing which landlords allow subleasing.

Stay Stax turns that into living, transparent, compliance-checked data, so you can work the landlords most likely to say yes instead of cold-calling your way through a list. Every signal carries its basis.

  • CONFIRMEDObserved

    A real sublet outcome on record, with the date it was verified.

  • LIKELYModeled

    Modeled from owner signals. A lead worth working, never sold as a yes.

  • UNKNOWNNo data

    No signal yet. Worth a call, with eyes open.

  • UNLIKELYModeled

    Owner signals lean no. Deprioritize before you spend the week.

  • PROHIBITEDObserved

    A documented no: a lease clause, a stated policy, or a prior refusal.

Observed means it is on record (a real outcome, with a date). Modeled is an estimate from owner signals, never presented as a confirmed yes.

Living, not a static list

Permission decays. Owners change, policies change, buildings change hands. A list assembled once is already stale by the time you act on it. Stay Stax's signal ages on purpose and re-verifies itself, so a CONFIRMED from two years ago does not quietly pass for a CONFIRMED today.

The market thesis

The easy STR era is over. The market moved to commercial.

Saturation and residential-targeted regulation compressed the easy edge. Demand, pricing, and capital are shifting to commercial and mid-term rentals. Here is a sample of the evidence.
