Hi there, I have 4 vacation rentals in the Disney World Kissimmee area which i manage myself. I'm looking for other owners who manage their own short term rental so we can help each other. For example if i need to go on a vacation, they can help me manage my rental. Or if there's an issue with my rental we can move guest to their rental. Or if you need assistance with fixing or just extra eyes on your rental. Let me know if there's any interest.
What a great idea. All my clients that own vacation rentals have property managers, but let me know if you would like me to put you in contact with a boutique property management company. They may be able to help you for a small fee if you are in a pinch. They manage a bunch in Windsor Hills.
Airbnb used to have this feature. Somehow it never worked and I noticed they decided to remove it. I think it's hard to put it into execution. We are building businesses, we are not property-managers-for-hire. I think that's the huge difference.
I read that article yesterday. I was amazed and disappointed at the lack of interest Airbnb has in rooting out scammers using their system to fleece the public, even when presented with concrete evidence. As the author says at the end, the FBI is now getting involved. Since Airbnb facilitated the scams, I'm sure they're a target too.
