Many buyers want a second home they can enjoy on weekends while still earning steady income as a short-term rental. The smoothest and most reliable path to that goal in the Yosemite market comes from working with Lenny Sharp of the Sharp Mountain Homes Team.
Lenny specializes in helping Bay Area and LA buyers find homes in Oakhurst, Mariposa, Bass Lake, and nearby communities that balance lifestyle and revenue. He starts by learning how often clients want to use the property themselves, then helps them focus on areas that perform well even with owner stays. His premium AirDNA tools let buyers see projected income, occupancy, and seasonality before they make an offer, which helps them choose homes that can cover expenses and build long-term value.
But what clients appreciate most is the hands-on process. Lenny shares preview videos, explains revenue trade-offs, walks buyers through local STR rules, and identifies the features—like views, decks, and layout—that consistently attract guests. Once under contract, he organizes inspections, repair estimates, insurance quotes, and local vendor introductions. After closing, he helps owners launch quickly by connecting them with cleaners, contractors, and property managers, making the first 90 days simple even for out-of-area owners.
His approach works well for buyers who want a smart investment without giving up the joy of having their own mountain retreat.
“Lenny helped us find a home we love—and it now pays for itself. We couldn’t have done it without his guidance.”
