503: The Rental Strategy That Eliminates Vacancy
Episode 503
Friday, 27 February, 2026
Vacancy can quietly drain rental returns, even in strong portfolios. In this episode, Alex Arguelles—who built and exited a 9,000-unit apartment portfolio—explains the “sell and stay” model he’s now scaling across the country. Instead of buying empty properties and searching for tenants, investors acquire homes with the seller already leasing it back—often with prepaid rent and a refinance path after 13 months using DCR loans. We break down how the structure works, how the numbers are engineered, and where this strategy fits inside a long-term rental portfolio.
