One quick thing before you book

Actually, one of those is what I'm looking for →

Don't take our word for it. Here's what happens when high-earning professionals stop doing it alone:

"My revenue for the year was spot on what John predicted. His 100% confidence call was $120,000 — right on the money."

- Allison Craft

"This was my first Airbnb investment. To this date, I've been cash flowing positive and it was the best decision of my life."

- Arul

"The loan officer said 'This is way more than our underwriting team would ever put together' and approved me for the loan on the spot."

- Philip Mann

"John is the head of data analysis for a reason. In my opinion, his methods are almost foolproof."

- Alyssa Roegner

"I had been in analysis paralysis, really fearful of making a bad decision. They gave me the confidence to buy my first property."

- Vanessa McPherson

"We were convinced with the method and the approach, and because of that we actually signed up for number two."

- Gordon Anderson

"Once we gave them what we were looking for, they took no time at all. There was no shortage of properties."

- Jeff Stansberry

"All the numbers just made so much sense, we could finally pull the trigger after so much hesitation. Ten months in, the return has been amazing."

- Jamie Cheney

"My first property they found was booked with 25 reservations in the first 24 hours. They definitely know their stuff."

- Lauren Grawert

"They were extremely conservative in how they underwrote everything, from revenue to tax savings. They overdelivered and underpromised."

- Allen Kandelman

"My CPA referred me from a tax strategy perspective. I did my first project in 2025 and saw the fruits of our labor in the tax returns and the money saved."

- Suraj Modi

"As busy physicians, we were maximizing every tax-advantaged account possible, but still getting hit with massive tax bills year after year. The two biggest advantages of STR Search are time and confidence."

- Shin Miyata

"Using their strategies, my wife and I were able to pay zero taxes this past year. Every single dollar we paid throughout the year came right back to us in a refund check."

- Sean Paul

"The results have been everything STR Search promised and more. Our property should appraise for several hundred thousand dollars more than what we bought it and put into it."

- John Cannon

"I'm meticulous with numbers, and the data behind each property, the comparables, and the tax benefits was a game changer. I'm working with them on a fourth property right now, which is the biggest testament to their value."

- Daniel

*Individual results vary. These testimonials reflect real client experiences but outcomes depend on many factors including income, capital, market conditions, and property selection.

Not sure if this applies to your situation? Here's what high-earning professionals ask before they book.

"Is this even legal?" Yes. The IRS wrote the rules for short-term rental depreciation and cost segregation. High-net-worth people have done this for decades. Your CPA just doesn't specialize in it.
"I'm an engineer, not a real estate investor." Neither were most of our clients before they started. We find the property, run the numbers, and handle acquisition. You bring income and capital.
"I barely have time outside of work." Material participation takes about 2 hours a week. This runs alongside your TC, not instead of it.
How much can I actually save?+
$50k–$100k+ in year one. Depends on your TC and the property. We'll run your exact numbers on the strategy call.
Does this work with RSU income?+
Yes. RSU vesting creates huge taxable income spikes. That's exactly what this offsets.
What if my CPA disagrees?+
Most company-referred CPAs file returns. They don't build tax strategies. That's what the call is for — we'll show you what they're missing.
How much capital do I need?+
$150k+ for down payment and setup. The property cash-flows from month one, so it's not dead money.
What happens on the strategy call?+
We review your income, tax situation, and capital. Then we show you exactly how much you'd save and what a matched property looks like. 30 minutes. No pressure.

Leadership

We're Trusted By the Best in the Business

STR Search and the Bianchi Method has gained a reputation among industry leaders as being the front runner in consistently matching people with profitable properties.

John Bianchi

John Bianchi

Founder & "The Airbnb Data Guy"

At 24, John walked away from a $10M investment portfolio as a financial advisor to chase his true passion: real estate. In 2017, he dove headfirst into Airbnb, scaling to 15 cash-flowing properties in Chicago through rental arbitrage.

But John didn't just build properties — he built a system. Obsessed with data, he cracked the code on Airbnb analytics, creating The Bianchi Method.

He discovered that 80% of market data was unreliable, so he developed proprietary processes that have helped 10,000+ investors.

Today, as Founder of STR Search, John combines his analytical genius with a 100% client success rate, directing over $100M in investments. His mission: help high-income earners offset massive tax bills through data-driven real estate.

Taylor Jones

Head of Acquisitions

Taylor spent years as a "lifelong sales guy," chasing commissions across multiple roles. When COVID hit in 2020, his client-facing sales job evaporated overnight: a wake-up call that all his eggs were in one basket. His 7+ years traveling in Airbnbs with his wife sparked the idea.

Taylor's philosophy? "I learned more in three weeks of ownership than three months of studying. You don't need to be Michael Phelps — just learn enough not to drown." That action-first mentality propelled him to leading acquisitions at Techvestor, acquiring 120+ properties in 19 months.

Now as Head of Acquisitions at STR Search, Taylor has directed over $74M in Airbnb acquisitions, delivering 200+ cash-flowing STRs. He combines market expertise with strategic buying — advocating for smart purchases that leave room for elite design.

Disclaimer

STR Search strives to provide valuable insights and strategies for optimizing short-term rental (STR) investments. While we aim to help clients put their money to work and potentially lower their tax bills, we cannot guarantee the financial performance of any property or investment. Real estate markets are inherently unpredictable, and individual results may vary based on factors such as location, market conditions, management practices, and other variables outside our control.

Additionally, lowering your tax bill through STR investments may require you to meet specific qualifications outlined in the IRS Passive Activity Loss Rules and the Short-Term Rental Exception. We encourage all clients to consult with a qualified tax professional or financial advisor to determine their eligibility for this tax benefit and to understand the implications of their investment decisions.

By engaging with our services, you acknowledge that all investments carry risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. STR Search is not a tax, financial, or legal advisory firm, and any information provided should not be considered as such.
