What's the June 15 STR exemption, and how do I know these buildings qualify?
Kelowna's short-term rental restrictions carved out specific exemptions for buildings that were purpose-built for STR use. The Brooklyn and Aqua both fall under that exemption, which activates June 15, 2026. We'll send you the documentation confirming qualifying status as part of the deal package, no guessing, no assumptions.
What does "fully furnished" actually include?
Everything. Beds, mattresses, linens, couches, dining sets, TVs, kitchen appliances, cookware, utensils, decor, towels, the unit is move-in (and guest-in) ready on closing day. We furnish to a Superhost-grade standard, not a bare-minimum standard.
How does the Superhost management option work?
If you want the unit to run completely hands-off, we connect you to a vetted Airbnb/VRBO Superhost partner who handles listings, pricing, guest communication, cleaning coordination, and maintenance. They take a management fee; you take the rest. You're free to self-manage instead, your call, no obligation.
Do I have to be local to invest in Kelowna?
No. A huge share of our investor clients buy from out of province, Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, even overseas. We do virtual tours, handle inspections, coordinate property management, and walk you through every signature. You never have to set foot in the Okanagan if you don't want to (but you'll probably want to).
What's the minimum investment to get started?
Realistically, you'll want roughly $150K liquid to qualify for a cashflowing property in the current Kelowna market, that covers down payment, closing costs, and a reserve. Bigger deals (multi-family, mixed-use) need more. We'll walk through your specific numbers on the strategy call.
Are these really cashflow-positive after expenses?
Yes, and we'll show you the math. Every deal comes with a full pro-forma: mortgage, taxes, insurance, vacancy, maintenance, property management, capex reserve. If a property doesn't pencil out, we don't bring it to you. Period.
Do you only work with experienced investors?
Not at all. About a third of our clients are buying their first investment property. The strategy call is built for both first-timers and people who already own a dozen units, we meet you where you are.
What's an "off-market" deal and how do you get them?
Off-market means the property isn't (yet) listed publicly on MLS. We get them through 15+ years of relationships with other agents, builders, and owners in the Okanagan. These deals are first-come-first-served to the investor list, which is exactly why the form above exists.
Is there a cost to work with you?
No upfront cost. As your buyer's agent, I'm compensated by the listing side at closing, same as any real estate transaction in BC. The strategy call, the deal pipeline, the analysis, all free until you close on a property.
