Blue Key Finds The Opportunity

We source and underwrite ground-up development opportunities in our target markets, focusing on land and designs that align with our vision for high-performing short-term rentals. We are highly selective in what we build, and only present opportunities that meet our criteria to investors interested in partnering with us.

Management
02

Blue Key Manages

The Alpha Geek team will manage the day to day operations with focus on driving revenue, decreasing expenses, and ultimately providing strong returns to our investors.

Payments
03

Blue Key Pays

Cash flow is a key focus of our strategy, and profits are distributed to our partners on a monthly or quarterly basis, depending on the asset.

Why We Focus on Short-Term Rentals

Performance-Focused Returns

Compared to many traditional real estate strategies, well-operated short-term rentals can generate higher cash-on-cash potential.

Strategic Investment Markets

We focus on select markets where tourism is a core part of the local economy. These locations combine strong demand with limited high-quality inventory, allowing our purpose-built homes to stand out and compete effectively.

Designed for Cash Flow

Each project is built to transition quickly from construction to revenue-producing operations.

The Investment Process

01

Investor Questionnaire

The first step in exploring a potential partnership is getting to know one another. You’ll complete a brief questionnaire that helps us understand your background as an investor, your goals, and whether our opportunities are a good fit.

02

Investor Discovery Call

This is a one-on-one conversation with our team designed to build on the initial introduction. It’s an opportunity for you to ask questions about our team, process, and approach, while we learn more about your goals and determine whether there’s a mutual fit.

03

Opportunities

We offer investment opportunities periodically throughout the year. When a new opportunity becomes available, we share it with individuals who have expressed interest in partnering with us. All investments are available until an investor submits their investment capital for that particular opportunity.

04

Property Sourcing and Development

Blue Key is constantly finding new parcels of land and opportunities to invest in, sometimes we will already have an opportunity under contract or even owned by the firm, able to move to an investor. Once tied to an investor the construction phase starts, followed by preparation for short term renting. Once complete Blue Key Builds handles the management as well to make sure the asset is producing great results.

05

Distributions

As soon as properties start generating revenue, monthly distributions are made to investors. Because of our process and systems, properties generate great cash flow as soon as they are completed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Blue Key Builds and our investment process.

Blue Key Builds is a boutique real estate development company that specializes in ground-up construction of purpose-built short-term rental homes. We focus on select markets and design each property to operate as a high-performing Airbnb-style rental from day one.

You are investing in a specific, ground-up real estate development project. Each investment is tied to the construction, setup, and operation of a purpose-built short-term rental home in a carefully selected market.

Blue Key offers both pooled funds and project-specific investment opportunities, depending on the asset and investor objectives. Each offering clearly outlines the investment structure and underlying asset so investors understand exactly what they’re participating in.

Yes, we can process funds through a variety of self-directed retirement accounts.

No. Currently, our opportunities are open to both accredited and non-accredited investors.

Investors will receive monthly reports on their investment and including profits, expenses and updates relevant to the property.

Yes. Investors generally receive their proportionate share of depreciation and taxable income or losses, which are reported annually on a Schedule K-1. The actual tax impact depends on your individual circumstances.

Investors should expect to receive a Schedule K-1 each year. Our goal is to deliver K-1s on or before March 15 each year.

To qualify as an Accredited Investor, an individual generally must either have a net worth of at least $1,000,000 (excluding a primary residence) or have earned at least $200,000 in each of the past two years ($300,000 combined with a spouse or partner). There are additional, less common ways to qualify, and our team is available to discuss whether one of those situations may apply.

New investment opportunities are offered periodically throughout the year as projects are identified and ready to launch. Timing varies based on market conditions and project readiness rather than a fixed schedule. Any new opportunities are given to investors with their funds already placed.
