Has anyone heard of a company called NOMAD
NOMAD wants to rent my house with a Master Lease where they pay me the rent and then sublet to occupants who pay them. They offer a $10K repair fund to fix damages in addition to SD plus warranty for appliance repair etc.
I have no say in whom they choose to move in, whether there are animals, limit on # of occupants etc. they reserve right to inspect property so i have no idea if they can tell me to remodel, paint etc.
does this make sense i have a vacancy coming up in October (bad rental timing).
They are arbitraging your house… believing they can rent it for more as an Airbnb. I wouldn’t go there myself… you lose a lot of control, your house will see a lot more traffic / damage. Lots of people rent houses for parties as well, and you won’t be able to do anything about it. There is no reason you couldn’t do the same… so why let them make the money and give up the control? Would definitely check local zoning / code enforcement laws as well.

Thanks they didnt say anything about STR it would be awful
I was wondering how they make money now i know
I dont think the $10K would even cover damage! And its not in a great bnb location
Neighbors dont deserve it
There is a flaw in the business model and thier internal processes need a lot of work.
First the good,
Yes, I got paid every month.
Nomad found me good renters.
Next the bad
Due to needing to make the guaranteed rent they rented my unit below market value
In communicating with Nomad they were disorganized, often sending conflicting messages and not aligned
Nomad offered to find me a repair company, that compnany charged $400 for a $25 dollar part and I was stuck with Nomad saying "not their problem" and the vendor saying Nomad was the client not me.
Nomad was horrible to my renters as their property management term ended. Nomad sent emails telling the renters to move out (I was fine if the renters stayed). Nomad also held the renter's deposit hostage even after I cleared the transfer with no damages to be charged.
I had to remind Nomad there is a difference between “can” and should” , while you “can” hold a deposit longer it “should” only be done when there is a question about damages.
My bank liked the guarantee, the disorganization inside Nomad and the horrible vendor management would cause me not to use them again. Our relationship has terminated.
Sounds like a box of unexpected surprises, I'd pass.

I am using TurboTenant and self managing the Nomad property. There are a ton of property management companies. Regionality and competition greatly factors into the cost structure.
