Track Record

The operator running this, before this market existed for him.

Obika is a new venture in Kagawa. The person running it isn't new to operating real estate.

An honest framing

Obika has no Kagawa track record yet. Chris has a Canadian one.

We'd rather say this plainly than let you assume otherwise: Obika as a Kagawa operation is new. What isn't new is the person running day-to-day operations — Chris has been acquiring and operating rental property in Canada for years before this venture existed.

The figures below reflect Chris Hood's personal Canadian property portfolio — they are not Kagawa-specific results, and they are not a projection of what any Obika property will produce. They're included here as evidence of operating capability, not as a performance history for this venture. Treat them accordingly.

How that experience was built

Eight years of operating, not eight years of talking about it.

Age 18

Chris started in real estate doing asbestos abatement and mold remediation — a deliberate choice made specifically to learn how to handle the renovation situations most operators avoid.

Age 20

Moved into a project management role, overseeing contractors and in-house staff directly.

Age 23

Managing large government contracts, with teams of up to 15 people at a time.

2024

Joined a large real estate group with deep experience in the short-term rental space, learning firsthand how high-performing Airbnb operations are run and the systems built behind them over years.

Today

Personally operates 7 properties across Canada, generating an estimated $400,000 in annual revenue, while applying that same operating discipline to Obika's acquisitions in Kagawa.

A real example, not a hypothetical

From a 2:30am viewing to $20,882.85 booked in 30 days.

This is one of Chris's existing Canadian properties — included here as a real, dated example of how fast a property can go from acquisition to producing real demand once it's set up properly.

Chris was presented with this opportunity in the evening — and went to see the property the same night, leaving his house at 11:00pm and arriving on-site at 2:30am. He didn't wait for a more convenient time to evaluate it.

From that night to where the booked revenue sits today has been a span of 30 days.

11:00 PM

Opportunity presented. Left home the same evening to see it in person rather than waiting.

2:30 AM

Arrived on-site and evaluated the property directly.

Day 30

$20,882.85 CAD booked for the month, shown live in the Airbnb performance dashboard.

For accuracy: the dashboard shows this amount as Upcoming, not Paid — meaning it reflects confirmed bookings for the month, not funds already disbursed. We're showing it exactly as it appears, with that distinction intact, rather than rounding it up to "revenue collected."

What this means for Kagawa

Same operator, same systems, different market.

The renovation judgment, contractor management, and short-term rental operating systems Chris built in Canada are the same ones being applied to every Obika acquisition — the buy box, the furnishing standard, the guest experience.

As the Kagawa portfolio grows

This page will be updated with property-specific performance data as Obika's Kagawa properties come online and build their own operating history — actual occupancy, actual revenue, actual results against the projections shown elsewhere on this site. Until then, this page exists to show you who's running the operation, not to overstate what's been proven in this specific market yet.
