The Background

I've been a licensed real estate broker for over ten years, closing more than $25 million in sales across Chicago and the southwest suburbs. I work under Fulton Grace Realty and represent buyers, sellers, and developers throughout Illinois.

A few years ago I started looking at Arizona as a short-term rental market — and I didn't just analyze it from a spreadsheet. I bought, furnished, and operated a Scottsdale STR, achieving Airbnb Superhost status. That property has since been sold, but the hands-on experience it gave me is irreplaceable.

I also dug deep into the tax side. Cost segregation + 100% bonus depreciation is one of the most powerful legal tax strategies available to high-income earners today — and an Arizona short-term rental is one of the cleanest vehicles to deploy it. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act made 100% bonus depreciation permanent, which makes this strategy even more compelling.

Today I help clients across both states: buy Arizona STRs for the tax strategy, and navigate Illinois real estate from first home to full portfolio. I fly to Arizona for every showing. You are never handed off.
