Building Your Dream Team For Your Airbnb Co-Hosting Business

In running an Airbnb Co-Hosting business, your team is the lifeblood to running a successful Airbnb business.

With Airbnb Co-Hosting, you can do this 100% remotely and all about building an incredible boots on the ground team.  

Even if you are 5 minutes away from the property, your time should be focused on getting more clients versus going to the property all of the time. 

You can not be at 10 places at once or may not even be available when there is an issue.

Let’s talk about who the dream team consists of:

1) Cleaner

2) Runner

3) Handyman

    Cleaners:

    They are going to be your most important team members, since they are at the property the most, and cleanliness is absolutely everything.

    If someone goes to a property and it’s not clean, that’s the end of the road. I'm being a little dramatic here, but if your property gets bad reviews because of cleaning, this will lead to less bookings, less revenue for the homeowner and less revenue for you as a Co-Host. A complete domino effect. 

    The cleaner will come to the property to clean for each turnover, restock supplies, check for any damages, and makes sure everything is all set up for the next guests.

    Runner:

    They can help with taking out the trash, switching batteries, light maintenance, bringing in packages, help to set up properties, and more! 

    Handyman:

    They will be able to assist with any maintenance or damages from guests. 

    I would recommend having 1 dedicated person for each role and as many backups on hand if your main person is unavailable. 

    Remember your team is absolutely everything.

    Most of us on here are investors and own our own properties. That being said your post should not and is not specific to cohosting so it should have been asked a little differently.

    The most critical person is your cleaning service; you cannot survive without them, and they can make or break you. Your cleaners can handle most of the task you have under "runner". I've never heard of a runner job.

    Handyman is just a as needed person.
