Help me manage my Airstream BnB!

Samuel Sturt
Posted

Good evening guys! 
I have recently purchased a property that comes with a cute little "Airstream" that was previously being used for STR, and quite successfully so! However, the county no longer allows it on my property as I will be using the main residence as an STR and only one permit is allowed per lot.
So, I’m looking for help!! 
I’m looking for someone that already has experience and the systems in place to manage an STR of this Glamping style. My proposal is to park my trailer on your land, you manage it by taking bookings, cleaning and replenishing, all that jazz. In return I pay a management fee to you of 20% of gross income. (Open to negotiate! Possible a monthly rent too?) 

Ideally somewhere in Southern CA like Joshua tree but open to anywhere that can accommodate and attract the right type of guests! I’m thinking national parks 🏞

I think you would be looking at a 50/50 partnership on this. 20 percent wouldn’t make any sense for anyone. That’s pretty much the bottom rate a property manager charges without providing land and utilities. The land itself and rv hookup would be worth as much as the airstream itself most likely, if someone had that land why wouldn’t they just buy an airstream themselves and plop it on there?
