Property Management and STR Co-hosting

Do you own a short term rental and want a more hands-off, passive investment? Or are you looking to set up a short term rental (STR) but want help from an experienced Superhost? Co-hosting can help you achieve these goals. Co-hosting is essentially property management for short term rentals.

Benefits of hiring a co-host:

• Have an experienced host help you turn your home or a portion of your home into an STR to subsidize you mortgage
• Hands-off, passive income for investment properties
• Have a trusted individual complete on-site tasks for out-of-state investors like inspecting cleanings, meeting contractors, restocking supplies, and completing maintenance projects
• Increase your net profit by optimize listings, pricing, and guest satisfaction

Remote Services: For properties anywhere in the US

Setup: Optimize Listing

• Create an algorithm-friendly listing title and description

• Coordinate professional photographer to take listing photos

Setup: Expand booking channels

• List property on both VRBO and Airbnb in order to enhance visibility and increase bookings

Guest Service

• Respond to booking inquiries

Booking Strategy

• During the slow months, it may make sense to pivot to midterm rentals which is when guests stay 30-90 days at a time. Traveling nurses are the primary market for midterm rentals. They pay premiums for furnished midterm rentals. I can list your property on midterm rental sites.
