James began his real estate career in 2000 as a real estate agent in NYC while attending New York University. Outside of his career as a real estate agent, James back in 2001 created a website to match international renters looking for shorter term leases in fully furnished apartments. In 2012, James began to invest in Atlanta, Georgia buying up single family homes to rent out. By 2015 the portfolio of Single-Family Rentals was a huge success and he duplicated this strategy in Cleveland, Ohio. James remains in both markets to this day. In 2016, James purchased an 8-acre vacant lot just outside of Philadelphia. Through many variance negotiations with local municipalities, he was able to get a 130- unit Condo/Mixed-Use building approved. Instead of developing, the approved plans were sold to local apartment operators. In 2019 James purchased an 11-unit rooming house on a beach block in Ventnor, NJ. He was able to successfully reposition the property into a very profitable short term rental operation. He and his team increased the NOI of the property by more than 250% and returned 120% of investor capital in less than three years. In 2020 and 2021, James purchased 5 townhomes through his Opportunity Zone Fund. Those properties were converted into a mix of One bedroom, three bedroom and 5-bedroom townhomes with average daily rates ranging from $300 per night to $2000 per night. James and his team also manage the short-term rental operation.

At 20 years old, Kurt co-founded an IT consulting company and bought his first property. A few years later, in 2004, he bought his first two investment properties. He grew the small IT business into an award-winning company with regional recognition before selling it in 2016. Part of Kurt’s motivation to sell his IT company was so that he could focus on real estate. In 2013 Kurt and his wife, Beth, began aggressively buying single family and small multi-family properties in Atlantic City. Kurt became a licensed contractor to service his own portfolio around the same time. Together they have managed rehabs/remodels on over twenty properties. Kurt’s entrepreneurial skills and business background have been a catalyst to their real estate success. Today their portfolio consists of a mix of long-term and short-term rentals in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Vermont.
Kurt currently works full time as a real estate investor and professional firefighter in Atlantic City.

As the proud general manager of the Stay Coastal Capital Portfolio of properties in Ventnor and Atlantic City as well as the owner of Southpaw Painting LLC. My past experience includes property management for Ole Hansen and Sons Inc, general manager for Nixon Fiberglass LLC and over 10 years of painting, carpentry and general contracting. Growing up in the hospitality field with my family I learned the ins and outs of service. Today I strive to apply those instincts to accommodating our guests and keeping our properties held to standard I can take pride in. I live and work in Ventnor and Atlantic City so I’m always an earshot away from any of our properties . When I’m not at work you might see me riding my bike up the boardwalk or at the Ventnor library chess club! I believe in the mission of Air BnB to share beautiful spaces and introduce new experiences. As an avid traveler myself I’ve stayed in Air BnBs all over the US and Europe and am always excited to meet other hosts and bring my experience back to the Jersey Shore!
