Eric D. Moeller is the co-founder of STR Legends (Short-Term Rental Legends), a mastermind group dedicated to allowing short-term rental investors to come together to learn and network. Born and raised to a blue-collar family in New Jersey, Eric got his first taste of real estate investing at the early age of seventeen when he was mentored by a local investor. She taught him the ins and outs of real estate investing and by the age of nineteen Eric had purchased his first property. Over the years Eric went on to purchase, renovate and sell hundreds of homes throughout New Jersey.
In 2016, Eric made the move to sunny San Diego to launch Homtel, an Airbnb co-hosting, leasing, and investment company that specializes in hosting the most unique homes in the most unique parts of the world. He was quickly named a super host and is currently managing listings throughout southern California and is quickly expanding into new markets.
Eric’s passions are in Muay Thai, travel (while staying in Airbnbs, of course), and helping teach and mentor other entrepreneurs in Real Estate, Airbnb, and business. Eric is a certified Hypnotherapist and is a certified practitioner of Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP).
