Superhost Manager/Operator Looking to Connect and Need Advice

[Ryan Jang]

Hello!

We are experienced manager/operator and a superhost located in Chicago, that can handle the entire operation. We have about total 270 reviews all acquired within the past 12 months. We've managed to automate many of the tasks such as scheduling, messaging guests, and turnover using Zapier, Podio and etc. We are looking to scale and faced with few challenges. I would love to connect or discuss!

We've explored mainly 3 growth options

1. Commercial-type Leases from building owner

2. Purchasing 2-4 unit buildings

3. Management Model

All 3 of them comes with their own pros and cons. 

1. We can scale faster with less capital, but less control and harder to pitch to owners, smaller profit.

2. More Control more profit, but need more capital/partnership

3. Easier to grow, Questionable Profitability. No Branding

What do you think the best option is?
