Founder of Gather Circle
Justin Thompson
For 18 years, I was an electrical engineer designing EV and battery systems before leaving corporate America to build financial freedom through short-term rental real estate.
My wife, Julie, is an OB-GYN, and like many high-income professionals, we needed a way to grow wealth without working more hours. Short-term rentals became that vehicle.
Today, I help physicians and other high-income professionals acquire high-performing short-term rental properties without taking on a second job. My team handles the sourcing, underwriting, negotiations, and acquisition so you can focus on your career while building cash flow, tax advantages, and long-term wealth.
Through Gather Circle, we've built an end-to-end acquisition experience that includes advisory, closing coordination, design, cost segregation, a dedicated client delivery manager, and a community of like-minded investors.
I built this system for my own portfolio first. Now I use it to help others create the same kind of freedom through real estate ownership.
Because every client receives a white-glove experience, I only accept a limited number of new clients each year.

FAQs
Questions we get all the time
How much capital do I need?
Enough to be a serious buyer in your target market. The advisory process helps clarify your buying power, financing options, and realistic acquisition range.
Do you guarantee returns?
No. Gather provides underwriting, strategy, education, coordination, and partner access, but returns are not guaranteed.
What happens if I do not purchase a property in the first 3 months?
If no property is purchased within the first 3 months, Gather continues working with you for up to 3 additional months at no additional advisory fee.
Do I need STR experience?
No. Gather Advisory is designed to guide high earners through the process with expert support, partner access, and structured decision-making.
Do you manage the property?
Gather Getaways can support day-to-day management where available or match clients with a vetted local manager when that is the better fit.
Do you find the property for me?
Yes. Gather sources and underwrites opportunities, while also reviewing deals you bring.
Book a strategy call to see if Gather Advisory is the right fit for your goals. We only accept a limited number of new clients each year.
