About Mike Stone

cell 602-488-0223 Mike's website

Mike Stone is Arizona's leading Airbnb investment realtor, specializing in luxury short term rental acquisitions in Sedona and Scottsdale, Arizona.

In 2025 and 2026, Mike Stone has helped sophisticated real estate investors buy over $40 million in high performing short term rental assets and create multiple million in equity through large scale renovations and hospitality focused design.

Working with Mike Stone is different than working with a traditional real estate agent because most realtors are not sufficiently experienced with investment properties to know what makes a great deal. Mike Stone Group specializes exclusively in short term rental investment properties (Airbnb). We analyze actual STR revenue data and renovation costs before recommending any deal. We build a bespoke acquisition strategy around your specific budget and goals.

Our goal is to achieve 20-30% cash on cash returns, although value-add opportunities and tax incentives can shift each client's strategy. We provide data-backed ROI analysis, as well as both revenue and ARV comps.

Mike Stone and Ava Kate Speas guide luxury real estate investors through the acquisition process, offering more than just realtor services. As investors and consultants, we have experience with every step including acquisition, renovation, project management, design, launch, and STR cohosting. Mike's market insights and expertise in monetization have shaped a buy box that pinpoints the best investment properties, while Ava Kate’s skills in design, marketing, and operations ensure maximum return on investment.
