Brex for small portfolios (1–5 listings)
Hosts with 1–5 short-term rental listings looking for software that scales with them, not against them.
Our verdict for small portfolios (1–5 listings)
Consider alternatives
If you're a sole-proprietor host or unincorporated partnership, you can't get a Brex card — eligibility is a hard wall, not a soft preference.
What might bite you
- Sole proprietors and unincorporated partnerships aren't eligible
- Self-funded businesses typically need $1M+ in annual revenue
- A personal Chase Ink or Amex Business is more accessible at this stage
