We operate where we have the deepest connections, the strongest contractor networks, and the most intimate knowledge of what tenants and guests want.
Every market has a dedicated local team on the ground. We don't manage from a distance — we have real relationships, real contractors, and real market knowledge in every city we operate in.
Our home market and where Van Buren Equity Partners was born. Two properties, two Van Buren streets, two outcomes that proved the model. We know this market at a street level — which neighborhoods are moving, which contractors are reliable, and what tenants in this market actually want from a long-term rental.
End-to-end project oversight with our proven local contractor network. Design through completion.
Tenant strategy, listing creation, income verification, and placement. We find the right fit, not just the first applicant.
Post-renovation equity unlock strategy. We model the numbers so you can redeploy capital into your next investment.
Full property audit, renovation roadmap, and targeted repositioning strategy tied to projected ROI.
A market built on rental demand from traveling professionals, corporate relocations, and long-stay tenants who want something better than a hotel. We have a proven case study here — South Shore, a neighborhood where the Obama Presidential Center is redefining what rental rates are possible for landlords who move early.
30–180 day stays for traveling professionals and corporate relocations. Higher yield than long-term, lower turnover than STR.
For landlords who want stability — we handle the full placement from listing through to signed lease.
We partner with a Chicago-based interior designer to ensure spaces are staged and shot to convert at premium rates.
Vetted local creators producing content that builds your property's brand and drives direct bookings.

Local team being established. If you own property in Barcelona, get in touch early.
International guest targeting — travelers, digital nomads, and professionals seeking premium short stays.
30–180 day stays for international relocations, remote workers, and extended travel stays.
Renovation strategy and visual positioning for landlords looking to compete in Barcelona's premium rental tier.
Our model is built to scale to new markets with the right local partners. If you own property outside our current markets and believe there's an opportunity, we'd like to hear about it.
