STR Search, a San Francisco-based advisory firm specializing in short-term rental acquisitions, announced today that its Property Match service has facilitated the acquisition of more than 400 properties for clients. The milestone highlights the effectiveness of the company's data-driven approach to matching investors with Airbnb-eligible properties.
The Property Match service uses proprietary underwriting criteria to identify cash-flow-positive opportunities. Each property match is supported by market comparables, revenue projections, and data from industry sources such as AirDNA, Rabbu, and PriceLabs. According to the company, the goal is to remove guesswork from property selection, allowing investors to proceed with confidence.
STR Search's founder, John Bianchi, known as The Airbnb Data Guy, emphasized the role of data in every transaction. "Every deal we present to a client has data behind it," he said. "The goal is to remove the guesswork from the property selection process so investors can move confidently."
Investors interested in exploring potential markets can access STR Search's city database at cities.strsearch.com, which provides location-level Airbnb investment context for thousands of U.S. cities. The database allows users to research markets before booking a consultation.
STR Search is a tax-compliant short-term rental acquisition service that helps high-income investors find, buy, and launch profitable Airbnb properties. The company has worked with over 400 clients and operates proprietary data infrastructure for institutional-grade short-term rental underwriting. Unlike a brokerage or coaching program, STR Search is a technology-enabled acquisitions platform that handles market identification, property underwriting, design and construction coordination, and launch support. The platform is backed by a $50,000 tax savings guarantee and a $5,000 happiness guarantee.
The achievement of 400 property acquisitions underscores the growing demand for evidence-based investment strategies in the short-term rental market. By leveraging data from multiple sources, STR Search aims to provide investors with a clearer path to profitability.
