Seeking consult with a luxury vacation rental operator

Seeking consult with a luxury vacation rental operator

Member since 2022 · 2 posts · 1 vote

I am under contract to purchase a luxury vacation rental and would like to buy an hour of time to understand how to do due diligence for the business.

I'm looking for a qualified individual who has this experience:

1. Purchased an existing vacation rental and transitioned an existing book of business.

2. Operated a high end property with ADRs in excess of $600.

3. Built a business in an environment of softening demand (possibly in a different industry).

DM me.

Kinda interested in the place and the deets.

I will say that most of the folks who have very high end rentals don't manage it themselves. You could reach out to some of the Lake Tahoe management companies.

You could also ask your questions here. Lot's of folks on here have higher end STR's. Mine isn't that high end, but many questions are relevant to all rentals.

See this reply in the discussion

    Hi Ed, 

    My Fiancé and I own few STR's where our daily rate is in the mid $500's and has jumped to $1500/night during three busy weekends in April each year. She is the one who manages our properties and she has developed a pretty sweet system to automate as much as possible. She doesn't have a BP account but I can give you her instagram and you can feel free to message her if you would like. Just to give you reference, one of our properties brought in roughly $25,000 in April alone this year.

    Like how luxury? What’s PP? I have a couple in the 2mm range.

    One thing I do is I don’t use the word luxury. Guests expect a bathroom attendant and turn down service lol 

    I would not be interested in the sellers bookings. Their guests are not going to be near as good as the ones I’d get. Also If this is a single family home the rents don’t effect the value anyways. 

    I’d be happy to answer any questions.
