Outsourcing Airbnb Management
Would you consider outsourcing the management of your Airbnb?
The biggest mental hurdle I faced when entering the STR space was that I did not want to deal with the headaches associated with managing an Airbnb and maintaining a 5-star rating. It is a lot of work! I ended up building a team internally to handle the management and make it more of a passive investment for me. I considered offering this service to others in/around Clarksville, TN but I am not sure if there is enough demand for it.
And if you choose the DIY method, rather than outsourcing management, do you find it difficult to scale?

Airbnb acted unethically during the COVID crisis, costing homeowners big-time.
Additionally, due to our integrated status with VRBO, our homeowner clients are not charged an 8-11% service fee for bookings. In fact, they pay nothing at all for a booking, just as if it came through our own site.
When you factor in the savings on these fees alone, the net extra a homeowner is paying, at least us, is probably more like 14 to 17 percent.
