About STR Exchange

We find the landlords who say yes.

We're short-term rental operators who got tired of chasing landlords. So we built a team that calls them for you, gets a clear yes to subleasing, checks the rules and the numbers, and only then lists the home for members.

01Our story

It started in a Facebook group.

We host short-term rentals ourselves, so we know the hard part. It was never the guests. It was finding a landlord who would say yes, a deal that made money, and a city that allowed it.

So we started a Facebook group to connect landlords who allow subleasing with the operators looking for them. It grew to more than 54,800 members, and it showed us how much fraud was out there, like listings sold as approved when the owner had never agreed.

STR Exchange is what we built to fix that, for first-time operators and seasoned investors alike. We do the slow part right, on the phone with the owner, before a listing ever reaches you. And we verify every member, so landlords know exactly who they're dealing with.

02How listings are made

Every listing starts with a phone call.

Our team calls landlords and property managers every day, and most of them say no. When one says yes, we still check the rules, the numbers, and the details before a member sees it.

CallsEvery day

Property managerPhoenix, AZSaid yes
LandlordTampa, FLSaid no
LandlordAustin, TXCall back
Property managerNashville, TNSaid no
LandlordSan Diego, CASaid yes

Only a yes moves forward.

The owner says yes

On the call, the landlord or property manager confirms that short-term subleasing is allowed. No clear yes, no listing.

The rules are upfront

We list homes in strict cities too, and we spell out the local short-term rental rules so you decide with the full picture. Our 89+ city guides are free to read.

The numbers are attached

Each listing comes with estimates from both AirDNA and BNBCalc, not just one tool, plus the report screenshots, so you can see exactly where every number comes from.

The details are confirmed

Rent, photos, bed and bath count, and whether it comes furnished are all confirmed before the listing goes up.
