Operating Airbnbs without EVER seeing the house

[Bailey Kramer]

I own 2 Airbnbs and Co-Host several properties that I’ve NEVER seen in person!

It all comes down to having the right team, Technology, and processes in place!!

Teams (of course there are more, but these are the top 2 most important)

-Cleaners

-Handyman

Tech - Tech that makes running the biz simple from anywhere!

- Smart Locks

- Cameras

- My phone lol

Processes - Aka my standard operating procedures for...

- How trash is handled

- Cleaning procedures between each guest

- Ordering supplies

- Furnishing units

I would never hire a PM that can't routinely inspect the property and help with things without having to pay someone else for every little thing that needs to be done.

Example: Had a problem with a 4k projector and surround sound system. PM spent multiple days troubleshooting issue and ultimately we had to replace projector under warranty. He provided a decent sized loaner TV during the process. Guess how much extra we paid for all this? Nada.

This was just part of his value add of being a boots on the ground local PM.

If your PM isn't local you may as well self manage.
