The Reality of DIY STR
12–18 months of work most investors don't have
We've done this multiple times — for ourselves and for partners. The team is already built. The system is dialed in. You don't need to learn it.
The Operation
Two Halves of One Deal
We build it. NSH runs it. You own a fully-managed asset on day one.
DIAMOND ELEVATION
Stays · Design · Legacy
+ a vetted build partner
Diamond Elevation runs design, theme builds, furnishing, brand identity, photography, and launch. The build itself is delivered by a vetted construction partner from our roster — chosen by market, scope, and availability. Same project manager, same standard, regardless of which builder runs the trades.
New School Hosting
Property Management · Hospitality Operations
Once we hand you a finished, listed, revenue-producing property, NSH takes over the day-to-day. Guest communications, dynamic pricing, cleaning coordination, on-call maintenance. You collect distributions.
One contract. One project manager (Reba) coordinating both halves. One handoff into a fully revenue-producing asset.

How It Works
The Process
Six phases. Loan close ~4–5 weeks · renovation 8–12 weeks · design + launch 4–6 weeks. Start-to-guests typically 4–5 months · every project varies.
Discovery Call
30-min intro. We talk goals, capital, target market, timeline, and whether STR is the right fit for your situation.
Property Sourcing
We help identify candidates in the Shenandoah Valley (or your target market) with strong STR fundamentals — comp set, AirDNA data, regulatory check. Already got a property under contract? Even better — we'll start with scope.
Acquisition + Plan
Once a property is under contract, Kris walks the home and builds the renovation scope. You see the full build plan + timeline + cost before closing.
Renovation + Design
Kris runs the build. Reba runs design, furnishing, and brand. Weekly progress reports. You stay hands-off.
Launch + Photography
Professional photography, listing setup on Airbnb + VRBO + Direct, pricing strategy, guest experience details (welcome books, scent systems, amenities).
Operational Handoff
NSH takes over hosting + ongoing management. You receive a fully revenue-producing property already booking guests.

Custom-scoped per project
Every property is different — square footage, scope, finish level, market. We build the proposal to your specific project and share full numbers on the discovery call. No hidden line items, no surprise change orders mid-build.

Common Questions
FAQ
Where do you operate?
Primary market is the Shenandoah Valley, VA (Massanutten · McGaheysville · Harrisonburg). Other markets considered case-by-case — get on a discovery call and we'll talk through it.
Do I have to find the property myself?
Either works. We can help source candidates with strong STR fundamentals (comp set, AirDNA data, regulatory check), or run scope on a property you've already got under contract. We'll walk through both options on the call.
What does the program cost?
Every project is custom-scoped. Renovation cost varies by property; design + launch + setup is built into the proposal you'll see before any commitment. We share full numbers on the discovery call — no hidden line items.
How long does the whole thing take?
Typical timeline: loan closing ~4–5 weeks · renovation 8–12 weeks (with Kris's crew) · design + launch readiness 4–6 weeks. Start-to-guests is usually 4–5 months, though every project varies based on scope and any overlap between phases.
Can I manage it myself after launch instead of NSH?
Yes. NSH is the default if you want true passive ownership, but you can self-manage if you'd rather run it yourself.
Is financing included?
Reba is a licensed mortgage broker (NMLS #1079122) — happy to help directly or refer to lenders who specialize in STR loans.
