Strategic Asset Optimization

A prime coastal property in Dana Point's Lantern District was underperforming as a traditional long-term rental. While generating steady income, the owner faced capped revenue potential and a tired interior that failed to capitalize on the luxury coastal market.

RAD Management Co. executed a strategic pivot, managing a full interior revamp and furnishings installation to unlock the property's true equity.

THE CHALLENGE

The Long-Term Plateau

The property was occupied by a long-term tenant, but the returns were lagging behind current market rates for luxury coastal inventory.

  • Previous Model: Unfurnished Long-Term Rental

  • Previous Rent: $6,350 / month

  • Friction: Dated, "lived-in" interior prevented top-tier rates.

THE SOLUTION

A Strategic MTR Pivot

RAD Management Co. proposed a transition to the mid-term market (30+ day stays), targeting high-net-worth individuals and corporate relocations requiring turnkey luxury.

The Investment

RAD deployed $27,000 for professional interior design, furniture procurement, and installation.

The Vision

"Mid-Century Coastal Warmth." Curated aesthetic featuring exposed brick, natural textures, and vaulted ceilings.

The Execution

Transformation of the 4-bedroom, 3-bath home into a sanctuary with a "Coastal Kitchen" and private backyard oasis.

FINANCIAL SPOTLIGHT

The Power of Adding Value

Property owners often fear the upfront cost of furnishing. However, by looking at the numbers on this project, it's easy to see how it works. After less than 6 months, the investment is fully recouped.
