Done-for-You Airbnb Investing
What we handle.

Research and property sourcing
We search for potential properties and compare the location, demand, competing listings, setup costs, and operating assumptions. We flag local rental and HOA questions for you to verify before you buy.

Financing and closing
We work alongside you, your lender, and your closing team to coordinate the acquisition. You review the numbers, choose your financing, and make the final purchase decision.

Design and construction
We plan the layout, furnishings, and amenities around the property and intended guests. We help coordinate contractors, renovations, furnishing, and installation.

Tax planning coordination
Cost segregation, with your tax team.
We help coordinate a cost segregation analysis with qualified specialists and share project records with your CPA. A study can identify eligible property components that may be depreciated over shorter periods.
Whether you can use those deductions in the current year or against income like wages depends on your circumstances, including passive activity and material participation rules. Ask your CPA to evaluate the impact before you buy, especially if you plan to take a hands-off role.

Apply to work with Lumina.
Tell us your target market, approximate budget, purchase timeline, and whether you already own a property. Choose “Other” under partnership type and start your message with “Investor application.” We’ll review your details and reach out if the program looks like a fit.
