Emerging Asset Category: Technology advances and changing consumer behavior have pushed Short Term Rentals (STRs) into a resilient asset category, with over 7 million properties making up approximately 17% of global hospitality.
Hybrid Advantages: This hybrid asset category combines the stability and protection of residential real estate with the strong profitability and income potential of hospitality.
Institutional STRs: Recent progress in financial tools, legal clarity, and reliable data allows STRs to meet the rigorous underwriting standards of professional investors.
Fragmented Sector: The sector remains highly fragmented, with an estimated 90% of properties held by single-asset owners, creating a rare opportunity for experienced real estate hospitality professionals like Crays.
Strategic Purchases: Crays Fund finances and builds physical work, live, and play spaces  enabled by a community and booking app built on Nostr  where investors and guests can always feel at home.
