American Fork, UT (PRUnderground) October 5th, 2026
Elk Ridge Investments, a nationwide firm that helps capital partners use short-term rentals to pursue tax savings and long-term equity growth, has joined with business strategist and leadership expert Dave Meltzer. With decades of experience, Meltzer brings a background that complements Elk Ridge's approach to tax planning and wealth building.
Meltzer's career began in sports, where he served as CEO of Leigh Steinberg Sports & Entertainment before co-founding Sports 1 Marketing with Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon. The experience became a foundation for a broader career in business development, leadership, and entrepreneurship. His work has since expanded beyond sports, and Forbes has recognized him among its Top 10 Keynote Speakers.
Through his work, Meltzer has built a platform focused on helping people make better decisions, lead effectively, and build businesses, with topics ranging from leadership and business strategy to tax planning for entrepreneurs. His work has taken him well beyond the sports industry, connecting him with professionals across a wide range of industries.
"The people you surround yourself with have a tremendous impact on what you create," said Lame Kinikini, CEO and Founder of Elk Ridge Investments. "Dave has spent his career bringing talented people together, creating opportunities, and helping others grow, which makes him a natural fit with Elk Ridge. We're excited to work together to bring our approach to real estate and tax strategy to a wider audience."
This partnership comes at a time of year when many professionals are evaluating their tax positions. Investors considering Elk Ridge's short-term rental tax strategy still have time to work toward the 100-hour material participation requirement for the current tax year. Elk Ridge's proprietary process and software simplify the documentation and tracking involved, helping investors stay organized as they work toward meeting the time requirements needed to potentially qualify for applicable tax benefits.
Meltzer's expertise and input add another layer of experience to Elk Ridge's growing network. Elk Ridge acquires and operates short-term rental properties across the United States alongside capital partners who share ownership of each property. For more information, visit ElkRidgeInvestments.com.
