Short Term Rental Property Managing

[Damian Spears]

I am considering starting a small business in which I manage short term rental properties for primary owners of Airbnb properties. This technique allows the primary owner to retain about 80-85% of their profit while my services ask for around 15-20%. The services include house manuals, key/code exchange, handling repairs and incidents during and after the stay, cleaning, counting inventory, and updating photos/information on the listing website. This approach is relatively new to me, and I was curious if anyone has tried this yet, or has any advice on getting started?

Evolve takes 10% from you and they also take a sizable commission from the guest. Essentially they are a poor choice.

and you still deal with the only ground stuff which is the real hard part of it

Evolve does that for 10%. You have to find the cleaners/maintenance (they can help with that) but they handle all the scheduling, posting to all vacation rental sites, photos, guest communications before, during and after and some marketing.
