Explore buying with NorthSTRHow it works
One corporate tenant.
A clear plan.
NorthSTR leases suitable properties directly from owners. With your approval, we furnish or prepare the property as agreed and operate managed guest stays, while paying the rent set out in our lease.
- 01
Discuss your property or buying plans.
Share the general location, type of property and your timing. If you are planning to buy, start the conversation before your purchase.
- 02
Agree the right fit.
We assess the property together and set out the rent, term, permitted use, furnishing, care, and responsibilities.
- 03
Let us handle the guest operations.
NorthSTR manages bookings, guest communication, cleaning coordination, and day-to-day hosting under the agreement.
Your property is leased to NorthSTR for the agreed term. Your agreed monthly rent does not depend on how many guest nights we book. Ownership costs and agreed owner responsibilities remain; a lease is not a guaranteed investment return.
With your approval, guest stays may be marketed through Airbnb, Vrbo, and other channels supported by our property-management system, Hostaway. The channels used depend on the property and setup.
Property care
Property care, with responsibilities agreed upfront.
Clear standards, coordinated cleaning, and a practical maintenance process help us look after each property. We agree who handles what before the arrangement begins, including routine care, repairs, and how issues are reported.
Guest communication
Clear information before, during, and after a stay.
Cleaning coordination
Coordinated turnovers and agreed care standards.
Maintenance reporting
A practical process for reporting and resolving issues.
A consistent owner contact
A clear point of contact for your property and arrangement.

A few helpful answers
Questions from owners and investors
Who will rent my property?
NorthSTR is your corporate tenant under the lease. You remain the owner and landlord. NorthSTR operates the guest stays permitted by the agreement and pays the agreed rent.
Can I buy a property with NorthSTR as the intended tenant?
Yes. Dennis Williams can help you find a property for NorthSTR to assess. If you buy a property NorthSTR has identified as ideal, with Dennis Williams as your real-estate agent for the purchase, NorthSTR will sign a 3–5-year lease. Start the assessment before you buy.
Does every property purchased through Dennis qualify?
No. NorthSTR must identify the property as ideal for its operation, and Dennis must act as your agent for the purchase. Discuss suitability and proposed lease terms before committing to a property.
Do I have to run the Airbnb or short-term-rental operation?
No. Under the corporate-lease arrangement, NorthSTR handles the approved guest operation, including bookings, guest communication and day-to-day hosting. You retain ownership costs and the responsibilities agreed in the lease.
Are all NorthSTR leases three to five years?
Our core offer for suitable properties already owned is a three-year corporate lease. If you buy a property NorthSTR has identified as ideal, with Dennis Williams as your real-estate agent for the purchase, NorthSTR will sign a 3–5-year lease. The specific term and other lease details are agreed for each property.
Does my rent depend on guest bookings?
Under the corporate lease, your agreed monthly rent is not based on the number of guest nights NorthSTR books. That is different from co-hosting, where the owner's rental income depends on performance. A lease does not guarantee the profitability or value of your investment.
Do you also offer co-hosting?
Selective co-hosting is available case by case. It is a separate service arrangement, not the corporate-lease rent offer. Rental income depends on performance; services, fees, costs and responsibilities are agreed separately.
Where do you consider properties?
We consider suitable properties in Ottawa-area cottage country, the Rideau and Lanark corridor, Kingston and Frontenac, and selected Kawartha locations. Tell us the location and we will discuss whether it fits our plans.
What happens after I send an enquiry?
You'll get an email from hello@northSTR.co. NorthSTR's AI assistant may ask a few questions so our team has what it needs, then Bryan Sim follows up personally. The assistant can explain our offers, but it can't approve a property or agree terms; those are always handled by a person.
