I am an agent looking to manage AirBNBs. Where do I look?

[Alicia Delaney]

I am interested in hosting others' STRs/AirBNBs. Other than the obvious choice of Facebook, where are some others good places where I can find property owners or landlords (rental arbitrage/subletting) that are looking for STR managers? Thanks in advance!

 Buy one if your own and get good at it. If they build it they will come.

You can email them on the site if you feel like its under performing. Generally they do want experience and for you to really understand the business before executing theirs.

I recommend having a website built to market yourself. A lot of owners/ investors aren’t won this site and they are going to Google “Airbnb property manager”. I have a referral for an amazing web development company who is extremely cost effective. Let me know if you want me to DM over.

As someone above said, owning your own is the best way to prove your value add unless you're a professional interior designer. Think about it like this - If you're under 40, it's super difficult to have built enough credit, capital and experience to purchase a property to STR. Do you think the thing standing between this person and executing an STR project is having someone sign up for a PMS and order some stuff from Amazon? Probably not. Chances are, they can handle it themselves. And if they can't, you're getting crumbs not a meal. And for folks older than 40, their interest in a hospitality business with passive returns that have yet to be tested in current economic conditions is bound to be closer to low than high.

When I had a STR PM business, the majority of my new clients found me on Airbnb since my name was on a bunch of local listings that they'd see when doing their market research. Of course, this works after you've already picked up a few listings. Until then, I'd network locally as much as possible. Meet investors with LTRs and talk to them about converting to STRs.

I would connect with local brokerages that focus on working with investors. You can develop partnerships and build a stream of leads.

Go to STR meetups and build relationships with as many people in that industry as possible. It would help a lot if you had a STR you own, if you don't it's fine. People more so are going to buy into you, not your services

[Conner Olsen]

I would talk to owners and maybe other management companies. I know some that have been so successful they have a minimum revenue cutoff because the work isn't worth the return. Maybe you can get some business from them.
