        We’ve had 6 showings in the past week alone, which is already a lot, but the most concerning part is what’s been happening during these showings.Here’s the real kicker: there have been showings (with prior notice given) when we weren’t home, and my cameras caught prospective buyers entering unaccompanied—no realtor, no landlord, just strangers walking into my occupied home.In one instance, my husband happened to be home and answered the door.

        If you go this route hide a lockbox for emergencies.I also have wifi thermostats so I can save on electricity wen no one is there.I also have a high end outdoor only camera system that sends me alerts on motion so that I can keep an eye on who is coming and going.Once you are set up it is pretty easy to self manage.I have HA/VRBO and Airbnb and the calendars synchronize to stay updated.

        The market rate for a full-service STR co-hosting company is 25% gross after cleaning fees.On average the following would be included... 24/7 guest communication, vender oversight, weekly updates on the OTA listings, make sure maintenance and deep cleanings get done...but owner pays the expense, stain removal on linens, marketing the property, keep supplies stocked...again owner pays the expense, keep property guidebooks updated (digital copy and hard copy), security (locks, cameras etc.) oversight, bi-weekly pricing software management, walk the property regularly, provide monthly reports, and obviously any guest problems that arise time to time.
