So you’ve thought about investing in a short-term rental. The money’s great, the market’s booming — but you’d have to deal with changing sheets, guest correspondence, and expensive property upgrades. No thanks.

reAlpha wants to change that. The membership-based company’s goal is to democratize the real estate investment market with AI-driven tech + automated management that help Soda Citizens invest in short-term rentals without the hassle of maintaining (or even fully owning) properties. Bonus: It’s not just Columbia — they’re planning to buy properties everywhere. 🏘️ *
