Hopefully a quick question here… I am looking to self manage our 2 vacation rentals in Paso Robles, CA. We live about 3hr’s away and will need to build a team.
My main concern is finding someone (other then the cleaner) that can help out with guest request and running things to the house if needed. I already have a handyman and cleaner.
Does anyone here have a similar set up? Do you pay them a percentage or a flat rate?

@Ken Boone I just ASSumed the cleaner was the cleaner and I needed someone else to be the face person. But it looks like most people just use their cleaner/housekeeper. Thanks!

The cleaner will work for now but as you scale I recommend you get a seperate individual to inspect the cleaners work. This person can also be your boots on the ground and make house calls when needed. Hope that helps!
I have never had to have some thing ran to the house.
You should be set with your cleaner and handyman.
We stayed at an AirBNB and the coffee pot stopped working. The owner was out of state. They had the cleaner pick up a coffee pot and drop it off for us. It probably doesn't happen often, but repairs or replacement need some human intervention. I agree that between a cleaner and handyman, they can cover anything like that.

@Lance Friesz Hi Lance I'm a broker in Paso and have a handful of investor clients I work alongside on their Airbnb's out here while they live in the Bay Area. If you need to bring someone else in I'm happy to chat more, but as the others on here have said, your cleaners and handyman should pretty much be all you need at this point. Best of luck!
