A Complete Growth System for STR University + Stomp Capital

"You have been watching my videos on how to build an STR portfolio. Here is what most people miss."

"Most STR hosts spend 2-3 years learning, analyzing deals, making mistakes, and figuring out the operations. They burn through time and capital getting to their first profitable property. Some never get there.

I did the same thing when I left Wall Street. Except I had a $4 billion hedge fund behind the approach."

"The problem is not knowledge. You are watching the videos. You are in the group. You understand the model. The problem is execution.

Finding the right market. Negotiating the right deal. Setting up the right operations. Managing the property while you still have a day job. Every step has a cost. And most of those costs are invisible until you are already in."

"That is exactly why I offer 1-on-1 consultations. 75 minutes. Just you and me. We look at your specific situation. Your market. Your budget. Your goals.

I will tell you exactly what I would do if I were starting where you are today. Not theory. Not a course module. Your deal, your numbers, your next move."

"If you have been thinking about this for a while and you are ready to stop watching and start building, book a call. Link is below. 75 minutes. We map out your entire plan."

"I used to manage $4 billion on Wall Street. Now I buy Airbnbs. Here is why."

"At The Blackstone Group and Ramius Capital, I spent 15 years analyzing investments. The math behind short-term rentals is better than almost anything I saw on Wall Street.

A single STR property can generate 2-3x the revenue of a traditional long-term rental. In the right market, with the right operations, you are looking at 20-30% cash-on-cash returns. Try finding that in the stock market."

"I have built a portfolio of boutique properties across the country. Outer Banks. Palm Beach. Palm Springs. Jackson Hole. Costa Rica. Every single one follows the same framework I used in hedge fund investing. Identify the market. Run the numbers. Manage the downside. Maximize the upside."

"I put everything I have learned into a free getting started kit. Market selection. Deal analysis. Operations setup. It is the same framework I use for my own acquisitions.

Link below. It is free. Takes 10 minutes to read."

"What if you could own a portfolio of luxury short-term rentals without buying a single property yourself?"

"Here is the reality of STR investing that nobody talks about.

Finding the deal takes months. Renovating takes months. Setting up operations takes months. Managing guests takes all your weekends. And if you pick the wrong market, you are stuck with a property that barely breaks even.

Most people who want STR income do not want STR headaches."

"I spent 15 years on Wall Street managing billions in private equity. When I left, I took the same approach to short-term rentals. Institutional-grade underwriting. Professional operations. Properties in markets with high barriers to entry.

I have built Edgecamp properties in the Outer Banks, Palm Beach, Palm Springs, Jackson Hole, and Costa Rica. And I have $20 million of my own money invested alongside my partners."

"Stomp Capital is a private equity fund that lets accredited investors co-invest in my STR portfolio. You get exposure to the entire portfolio. Diversified across markets. Professionally managed. No guests calling you at 2 AM.

Our target is 5x net return over 10 years. 18% net IRR. 7% preferred return. And you can invest using a self-directed IRA."

"I put together a 20-minute presentation that walks through the fund thesis, the portfolio, the returns, and how it works. Watch it. If it makes sense, we will talk.

"What if there was a way to earn institutional-grade real estate returns without the headaches of being a landlord?

I am Richard Fertig. I spent 15 years on Wall Street. Associate at Blackstone. Co-Head of Investments at Ramius Capital, a $4 billion hedge fund. I have analyzed thousands of investment opportunities across every asset class.

And the best risk-adjusted returns I have ever seen are in luxury short-term rentals.

Not the Airbnb side hustle you hear about on YouTube. I am talking about a professionally managed portfolio of boutique properties in the hardest markets to enter. The kind of properties that generate 2x the revenue and 2x the guest satisfaction of a traditional luxury hotel.

In the next 20 minutes, I am going to show you exactly how this works, what the returns look like, and how you can co-invest alongside me."

"Here is my background. I do not say this to brag. I say it so you understand the lens I use when evaluating investments.

Cornell University. Double major in psychology and economics. Wharton MBA in finance. Then 15 years in institutional investing. Blackstone. Ramius Capital. Managing billions in private equity and hedge fund strategies.

When I left Wall Street, everyone thought I was crazy. I was leaving guaranteed seven-figure compensation to buy... vacation rentals?

But I saw something the institutions had not caught yet. Short-term rentals in high-barrier-to-entry markets were generating returns that blew away traditional commercial real estate. Better cash flow. Better appreciation. Better downside protection. Because the supply was constrained by zoning, geography, and regulation.

So I applied the same institutional framework to STRs. And I built Stomp Capital."

"Here is what most people get wrong about short-term rentals.

They think of it as an Airbnb side hustle. Buy a condo. Put it on the platform. Hope for bookings.

That is not what we do. Stomp Capital acquires properties in markets where new supply is nearly impossible. Outer Banks. Palm Beach. Palm Springs. Jackson Hole. Crested Butte. Costa Rica. Places where zoning restrictions, environmental regulations, and geographic constraints mean the competition cannot follow you.

Our properties are branded under Edgecamp. Boutique hospitality. Not cookie-cutter vacation rentals. Properties designed for guest satisfaction. Which drives occupancy. Which drives revenue. Which drives returns.

Here are the numbers. Our target is 5x net return on invested capital over 10 years. 18% net IRR. 7% preferred return. And every investor, including me, has their capital in the same structure. I have $20 million of my own money in this fund.

This is not a syndication where the sponsor puts in zero and takes a promote. I eat my own cooking."

"Let me walk you through a few properties so you can see this is real.

Edgecamp Sporting Club in the Outer Banks. 12,000 square feet. 14 bedrooms. Our flagship property. It books year-round and generates revenue that would make a hotel operator blush.

Edgecamp Nosara in Costa Rica. A surf and yoga boutique hotel. International diversification with a market that has a 90%+ occupancy rate in peak season.

Edgecamp Palm Beach. Edgecamp Palm Springs. Edgecamp Crested Butte, which we are currently under contract for. And our newest project: 35,000 square feet on the Town Square in Jackson Hole.

Each property follows the same playbook. High-barrier market. Boutique positioning. Institutional-grade underwriting. Professional operations."

"Here is how Stomp Capital works for you as an investor.

The minimum investment is $100,000. You can invest through a self-directed IRA. We accept accredited investors.

Your capital goes into a diversified fund. Not a single property. You get exposure to the entire Edgecamp portfolio. Multiple markets. Multiple property types. Multiple revenue streams. True diversification.

We handle everything. Acquisitions. Renovations. Operations. Guest management. Revenue optimization. You do not touch a single thing.

You receive quarterly reports. Annual distributions based on fund performance. And full transparency into every property and every number."

"If this makes sense to you, here is the next step.

Book a call with me. Not a salesperson. Me. We will spend 30 minutes going through your specific situation. Your investment goals. Your timeline. Your questions.

If Stomp Capital is a fit, great. If it is not, I will tell you that too. I do not need investors who are not aligned with the fund's thesis.

Click the link below this video. Pick a time that works. I look forward to the conversation."

20 minutes. I walk you through Stomp Capital's thesis, the portfolio, and the return targets. No fluff.

Most real estate funds target 12-15% IRR.

Stomp Capital targets 18% net IRR. 5x net MOIC over 10 years. 7% preferred return.

How? Luxury short-term rentals in markets where new supply is nearly impossible. Outer Banks. Palm Beach. Palm Springs. Jackson Hole. Properties that generate 2x the revenue of traditional hotels.

I break down exactly how in the presentation:

Here is your Getting Started Kit:
[DOWNLOAD LINK]

Inside you will find the framework I use for every STR acquisition. Market selection. Deal analysis. Operations setup. It is the same approach I used when I was running $4 billion at Ramius Capital. Just applied to short-term rentals instead of hedge fund strategies.

One thing most people miss: the biggest variable in STR success is not the platform. It is not the listing photos. It is market selection. Pick the right market and operations become easier. Pick the wrong one and no amount of optimization saves you.

The kit covers exactly how to tell the difference.

Over the next few days, I am going to send you a few more resources that go deeper on the topics in the kit. No fluff. Just the stuff I wish someone told me when I started.

The number one mistake new STR investors make is picking a market because it "looks good on Airbnb."

Here is the problem. If a market is easy to enter, everyone enters. Supply floods. Rates drop. Your returns disappear. It happens in 12-18 months.

The markets I invest in have natural barriers. Zoning restrictions. Environmental regulations. Limited buildable land. Geographic constraints. When new supply cannot follow you, your pricing power stays.

This is exactly how we select properties for Stomp Capital and the Edgecamp portfolio. Outer Banks. Palm Beach. Palm Springs. Jackson Hole. Every one has a structural barrier that protects the investment.

The question you need to ask about any market is not "are people booking here?" It is "can 50 new listings show up next year?"

If the answer is yes, find a different market.

- Richard

Buying the property is the easy part. Running it is where most people quit.

Guest communications. Cleaning coordination. Maintenance. Dynamic pricing. Review management. Damage claims. Local regulations. Tax compliance.

A single STR property generates 10-20 hours per week of management work. Multiply that by 3-5 properties and you have a full-time job you did not plan for.

This is why I built professional operations into every Edgecamp property from day one. And it is the same reason I started Stomp Capital. Most people want the returns from STRs without the operational headaches.

If you are going the DIY route, the Getting Started Kit covers the operations framework. If you would rather have someone else handle it, I do 1-on-1 consultations where we map out your specific situation.

75 minutes. Just you and me.

When I left The Blackstone Group, people thought I lost my mind. Trading a Wall Street career for vacation rentals.

Three years later I had 7 properties across 4 markets. Today the Edgecamp portfolio spans the Outer Banks, Palm Beach, Palm Springs, Jackson Hole, Costa Rica, and Crested Butte. Plus 35,000 square feet on the Town Square in Jackson Hole.

The returns look nothing like traditional real estate. Our STR properties generate 2x the profitability and guest satisfaction of traditional luxury hotels. That is not marketing. That is the math.

75,000+ people follow the journey on YouTube. The STRU Podcast breaks down every acquisition. CNBC, Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Fast Company have covered the story.

But the most interesting part is what happened when I started letting other people invest alongside me. Stomp Capital has accredited investors co-investing in the same portfolio, using the same framework, targeting the same returns.

Thank you for your interest in Stomp Capital.

Here is the short version of our thesis: we buy luxury short-term rental properties in markets with structural barriers to new supply. Zoning. Geography. Regulation. When competition cannot follow you, your returns are protected.

Most real estate funds chase yield in markets that are easy to enter. That works until everyone else enters. We take the opposite approach.

Our target: 5x net MOIC over 10 years. 18% net IRR. 7% preferred return. And I have $20M of my own capital invested in the same structure.

Over the next few days, I will send you more detail on the portfolio, the markets, and how the fund works. In the meantime, if you want to skip ahead:

{first_name},

Here is a quick look at the Edgecamp portfolio that Stomp Capital investors have exposure to:

Edgecamp Sporting Club (Outer Banks, NC) -- 12,000 sq ft flagship. 14 bedrooms. Year-round bookings.
Edgecamp Nosara (Costa Rica) -- Surf and yoga boutique hotel. 90%+ peak season occupancy.
Edgecamp Palm Beach (FL) -- Luxury market with extremely limited STR permits.
Edgecamp Palm Springs (CA) -- Desert luxury. Strong winter season demand.
Edgecamp Crested Butte (CO) -- Currently under contract. Ski market with natural supply constraints.
Jackson Hole (WY) -- 35,000 sq ft on the Town Square. Our largest project.

Each property was selected using the same criteria: high barrier to entry, strong demand fundamentals, and premium guest experience. The boutique hospitality model generates roughly 2x the profitability of traditional luxury hotels.

The fund structure: minimum $100K investment. Accredited investors. Self-directed IRAs accepted. Quarterly reporting. Full transparency.

I will be direct. Stomp Capital is not for everyone.

It is for accredited investors who want exposure to luxury real estate without the operational burden. Who understand that real returns come from markets with structural advantages, not hot trends. Who are comfortable with a 10-year fund horizon because they know that is where compounding happens.

If that sounds like you, I would like to talk. 30 minutes. No pressure. We will go through your situation, your goals, and whether the fund makes sense for your portfolio.
