The investment approach

Know what the property needs to produce before choosing how to operate it.

We bring structure to the decision: establish the home’s core economics, compare the realistic outcomes, and choose the strategy that best fits the asset and the owner.

Step one

Establish the economic floor.

A revenue forecast means little until it sits beside the costs required to acquire, finance, hold, improve, and operate the home.

For a property under consideration, we model the known information and make assumptions visible. For a home already owned, we separate original basis from the costs that matter to the decision now.

01

Purchase basis and improvements

02

Debt or hard-money cost

03

Taxes, insurance, HOA, and utilities

04

Maintenance, vacancy, and reserves

Step two

Compare the three practical outcomes.

Sell or exchange

Compare likely sale proceeds, transaction costs, taxes, remaining debt, and whether repositioning could create more value first.

Mallory Street does not act as the broker, tax adviser, or exchange intermediary.

Rent unfurnished

Compare market rent, vacancy, leasing and management costs, turnover exposure, repairs, and the simplicity of a longer-term tenant.

Mallory Street does not currently provide unfurnished long-term management.

Rent furnished

Compare furnished demand, setup cost, utilities, supplies, cleaning structure, platform costs, maintenance, and the management intensity required.

This is the operating model Mallory Street manages today.

Step three

Match the strategy to the owner—not only the spreadsheet.

Cash-flow priority

How important is current income versus future appreciation or liquidity?

Time horizon

Is the property a near-term decision, a multiyear hold, or part of a future move?

Risk tolerance

How much variability, operating intensity, and capital exposure is appropriate?

Opportunity cost

Could capital, time, or borrowing capacity work harder in a different outcome?

Start with the economics. Then choose with confidence.

Give us the address and a little context. We’ll review the property before beginning a personal conversation.
