Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Who is this membership for?
This membership is designed for DC homeowners — especially longtime residents, seniors, and families who want to hold onto their homes, reduce stress, and make the most of their property without selling or doing it all alone.
I already live in my home. Can I still benefit?
Absolutely. Whether you're living in your home, renting part of it out, or managing a second property — we provide support to help you manage it better, legally protect it, and explore ways to create income.
Is this just for Airbnb or short-term rental hosts?
Nope! While we have experience with Airbnb, this membership goes way beyond that. We support all types of property owners — whether you're renting, managing tenants, living in the home, or just trying to figure out your next move.

Monthly live strategy Zooms
Legal referral help for things like squatters, probate, and foreclosure
Rental templates and screening guidance
Contractor and cleaner referrals
Personalized property income strategies
