The Covest Process

Zero to Cash-Flowing.
One Point of Contact.

Most investors juggle a broker, a designer, a contractor and a property manager, each with their own agenda. I coordinate all of it, with a specialist in every seat and one person accountable: me.

The Tax Angle

Buy an STR.
Shrink your W-2 tax bill.

A short-term rental run the right way is one of the few legal ways a high earner can use real estate losses against wage income. Cost segregation front-loads the depreciation, so most of the benefit lands in year one.

Proprietary Technology

Meet Covest Signals.
Your Unfair Advantage in Colorado.

Most investors buy on a hunch and a national rent calculator. I built a tool that does better. Covest Signals merges live Colorado MLS listings with real short-term-rental performance data, runs it through an AI model weighing every metric that moves returns, and surfaces the clearest signals of opportunity — in real time, across the entire state.

Live MLS + STR performance data, fused and Colorado-only
AI scoring across 40+ metrics — demand, seasonality, regulation, rate
Real-time opportunity signals, refreshed as the market moves
Powers conservative, defensible underwriting on every deal
Surfaces and underwrites off-market deals — not just what's on the MLS

Calibrated by Altimeter. Covest Signals' projections pull from real revenue data tracked by Altimeter — the STR revenue-management company I own — so I underwrite against actual portfolio performance, not guesses. altimeter.co →

Why Work With Me

I Don't Just Broker Deals.
I Build Portfolios.

Colorado is not a market I dabble in — it's the only market I work in. Every deal I've ever done, every property I've designed, every rental I've run is here. That singular focus means I know this state at a depth most operators never reach.

Most brokers hand you keys and disappear. Most property managers have never personally designed a single room. I do all of it — and I do it because I've built my own portfolio the exact same way.

When you work with me, you're not hiring a middleman. You're getting the operator who already knows which Colorado counties are investor-friendly, which vendors to trust, and what makes a property book at $380/night instead of $210.

About Shalom & Covest

”

I buy and run my own STRs with the same tools and partners I put behind yours. If I wouldn't own it, I won't sell it to you. That alignment is the whole point.

Shalom KaiserFounder, Covest

Built by an Operator, Not a Middleman

I don't just broker deals — I own the same Colorado STR stack I sell. My portfolio runs on the same tool, the same revenue platform, and the same management partner I put behind your property. When I underwrite your deal, I'm betting on the same playbook I bet my own money on.

Where I Operate

Colorado Only.
The Right Parts of It.

I'm selective. I don't operate in markets with hostile STR regulations, permit caps, or owner-occupancy requirements. I know exactly where to buy — and where to avoid.
