If you’re renting out a vacation property from somewhere other than the area where that vacation property is located, you’ll run into a few unique challenges that local property owners don’t have to worry about.
The solution is pretty obvious: partner with a local property management company who can take cover the marketing, the turnovers, the maintenance, the cleaning, and all of the finances and follow-up.
Professional property managers give you more than the services that are provided. You also get our experience and our expertise, which is difficult to quantify. We have the best relationships in place with vendors, contractors, and service providers. We understand the local market and the shifts in pricing and tenant demands. We know how to handle unexpected and difficult situations, such as hurricanes or beach closures.
Managing any property long-distance is a challenge. Vacation rental management is even more challenging for out-of-state owners because of the frequent tenant turnover and the extra wear and tear that vacation properties suffer.
For rental property owners who can’t simply take a short drive to handle issues, perform maintenance, or meet guests, we’re sharing some suggestions that can help you navigate these challenges. (more…)
It’s a good time to own a short-term rental property. The vacation rental industry is strong right now, especially in a rental market like Florida, where there are rarely low seasons. We have vacationers and visitors flocking to our state all year long. When you want to earn high nightly rates with your investment property, rent it out to those tourists and visitors who stay for a few days, a week, or longer.
While there is a lot of interest in short-term rentals among tenants, there’s also a lot of competition. As a property owner trying to increase profitability, you need innovative and effective marketing strategies to stand out and attract more guests.
We have some great marketing strategies that will help you attract more guests to your rental. Here are some of the things you can do to immediately increase your visibility, enhance your rental home’s appeal, and ultimately fill your booking calendar. (more…)
