First STR Property setup questions ROUND (2)

[Keith Kotsch]

Hi all,

We just closed on our first STR property (DFW NORTH TEXAS) and am excited to start setting up our property!

Some specifics please....

Regarding cleaning crews for STR….

- Could you walk me thru an example of your interview and hiring process for STR specific crews in your area?

ie: what questions you ask when interviewing, qualifications/ traits that are MUST HAVES.

- Pay by job/each visit OR by hour?

- Do you issue W-9’s

-What accounting software do you use?

- Do your cleaning crews do laundry OR is that a separate service you all have?

This group is the best!

Thanks 

Keith

Pay by the job.

Should give them a 1099.

Get referrals and recommendations.

Make sure they have cleaned STRs before.

It would be go if they are a team or part of a company so that their are built in backups. What happens if they can't clean for one of your turnovers?
