Elliott Caldwell’s 2026 Investment Playbook

Resort-Style Short-Term Rentals Built for Control, Cash Flow, and Long-Term Relevance

A Clear Framework for the Next Phase of Short-Term Rentals

The short-term rental industry has matured. Generic Airbnbs, copy-paste properties, and thin margins are becoming increasingly fragile as competition and regulation rise.

This page is a brief overview of the investment framework outlined in Elliott Caldwell’s 2026 Investment Playbook —a control-first strategy focused on large, resort-style short-term rental assets designed to outperform across market cycles.

The full document goes deeper. This page answers one question:

Why this strategy—and why now?

The Core Idea: Control Beats Prediction

Rather than relying on appreciation, timing, or hype-driven markets, this playbook centers on intentional asset creation.

Each property is designed to:

Control the guest experience
Control revenue drivers
Control operating margins
Control tax outcomes
Maintain long-term relevance

At an average investment size of ~$1,000,000 per property, these assets sit in a strategic middle ground—large enough to create meaningful impact, small enough to remain agile.

Why Resort-Style Short-Term Rentals?

Large, resort-style short-term rentals operate in a different category than entry-level Airbnbs.

They are:

Destinations, not commodities
Experience-driven, not price-driven
Built for groups, families, and events
Designed to compete with hotels and boutique resorts

This shift dramatically changes the economics by reducing competition and increasing pricing power.

Who This Is For

This strategy is designed for:

High earners seeking tax-efficient cash-flowing assets
Investors who value durability over hype
Operators focused on long-term ownership, not short-term speculation
Anyone who believes real estate should be engineered, not guessed

TRUMP'S BIG BEAUTIFUL TAX BILL // The 2025 Tax Plan That Could Make or Break Real Estate Investors

Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eI8w3oTXYg 4

The 2025 tax plan could save you tens of thousands... or cost you big if you’re not prepared. In this video, I break down Trump’s proposed tax overhaul and what it means for real estate investors, especially if you’re using strategies like bonus depreciation and the STR loophole.

Whether you’re a W-2 earner, business owner, or full-time investor, this video covers:

✅ The return of 100% bonus depreciation

✅ Short-term rental (STR) tax strategies

✅ Cost segregation explained

✅ What’s phasing out—and what might be coming back

✅ Real investor case studies

✅ How to materially participate in your Airbnb

✅ The action plan to get ahead of 2025

�� The countdown is on:

Bonus depreciation drops to 40% in 2025… and disappears by 2027 unless something changes.

This is your chance to turn tax law into leverage. Don’t wait.

We’ve Outgrown Our Name: Home Team is Now The Rise Collective

We’ve Outgrown Our Name: Home Team is Now The Rise Collective

Two and a half years ago, Michael and I started with a bold mission: to become the first and only vacation rental management company that could perform nationwide. That vision became Home Team Luxury Rentals.

Fast forward to today, and that dream has multiplied. What started with managing a few properties has evolved into a national portfolio of more than 400 luxury vacation rentals and the creation of several thriving, vertically integrated companies.

Our management company is now just 18% of what we do. We needed a brand that could stretch with our vision. One that could house not just where we started, but where we’re going. That’s why we’re proud to introduce:

The Rise Collective

Why the Rebrand?

As we grew, so did the complexity of our ecosystem. Promoting brands like BnB Turnkey , BnB Construction , or BnB Lending under the name "Home Team Luxury Rentals" created confusion.

Whether it was marketing, hiring, or partnerships—our identity needed to match our scale.

Enter The Rise Collective : A name built to unify 7 (soon to be 9) brands under one mission-driven umbrel la.

Why "The Rise Collective"?

Rise = Growth

We’re not just building businesses. We’re helping people rise—personally, professionally, and financially.

Collective = Unity

Each brand we operate stands alone, but thrives together. We’re a community of high performers building something greater than ourselves.

Scalable & Future-Proof

This name gives us room to grow—into new markets, new industries, and new ideas.

Magnetic & Aspirational

It’s not just a brand. It’s a lifestyle. And it’s one people want to be part of.

What is The Rise Collective?

The Rise Collective is a portfolio of synergistic companies in real estate, hospitality, investing, lending, and lifestyle. Here’s a closer look:

BnB Turnkey

Our flagship done-for-you Airbnb investment service. Averaging 30+ clients a month in 2025, we help you:

Home Team Luxury Rentals

Our origin story. A best-in-class short-term rental management company operating in 20+ states. We handle:

Guest communication, cleaning, maintenance
Marketing, dynamic pricing, accounting
Full backend operations so owners don’t lift a finger

STR Realtor Search

The #1 nationwide Airbnb Realtor search service. We match investors with STR experts in any U.S. market—free of charge. If we don’t already have a vetted agent, our research team finds one who’s perfect for your strategy.

BnB Construction

Need your STR remodeled, optimized, or completely built? We’ve installed:

Pickleball courts
Garage movie theaters
Lazy rivers
Custom wallpaper & designer finishes We have W2, licensed GCs who handle every job to luxury standards.

What's next?

We have two more brands launching in the next 60 days—stay tuned.

And remember: The Rise Collective isn’t just a company.

It’s a community. It’s a vision. It’s a movement.

If you’re building a life with purpose—we’re building with you.

Let’s rise together.
