Hello everyone! My name is Anthony and I’m based in the North Texas (DFW) area. I come from a military logistics background and have spent 8+ years as a heavy renter and traveler, staying in all kinds of short‑term and long‑term rentals. However, I have 0 experience running a business so this is certainly a new venture for me. Over the years I’ve noticed a gap between glossy photos and how a place actually lives and feels. This is what pushed me to start this project, along with my passion for travel vlogging. I’m building a ‘renter‑first’ lifestyle and infrastructure certification bureau for rental properties. I visit a property in person, do a structured 4K walk-through, and then provide a clear scorecard, an improvement roadmap, and (if it qualifies) a Certified badge. It’s not a code inspection or anything legal/regulatory. It’s about real‑world comfort, usability, and modern essentials like noise and connectivity. Operators also gain a competitive edge from monthly newsletter features and social media exposure. The goal is to set clearer expectations, attract better‑fit guests/tenants, and help good operators stand out in crowded markets. Right now I’m here to learn from experienced operators and potentially connect with a few owners/hosts who’d be willing to take a chance on me during the pilot phase, which will be launching soon in DFW. Looking forward to chatting soon. Stay blessed!

@David Jones Both, but it will probably be more STRs in the beginning.
