Getting Started In Airbnb Property Management
Increasingly, more and more people are becoming aware of the lucrative financial benefits of the airbnb property management revolution. This has become a global phenomenon, but one that also has a very local focus with Airbnb in Edinburgh leading the way,
We all lead busy lives and sometimes this can take us abroad or away from our homes for long periods of time. It’s in these circumstances, or where you’ve a spare room, or a second property, that you might want to consider how best you could utilise this asset and make yourself some money to pay for that long awaited holiday to a luxury destination, or to celebrate a special event in style.
Things You Need To Consider Before Letting Out Your Property
Check the laws and regulations of the short term rental market
Every city/region has its own regulations and specifics concerning short-term rental. It’s best to understand things like Health and Safety, Fire Safety regulations and other property rules present in your region. There are also often time constraints placed on landlords. In London for example there is a maximum 90 day rule when it comes to letting out your property.
Screen guests carefully
It’s vital to be able to trust whoever you rent your property out to. You want to know who your guest(s) is/are, why they’re here and how long they’re staying for. You also want to understand that they’ll respect your property and leave it in one piece. There are many ways to check your guest profile ahead of a holiday let. You can verify your guest based on their Facebook profile, previous reviews, and by calling them to be sure that this person is trustful and respectful.
Set ground rules
To optimise your holiday let property management experience you have to strike the right balance, between what you expect from your guests and in turn what the guests expect from you. The thing here is to be respectful and allow your guests a degree of privacy. What you don’t want however, are all night parties in your property, additional people staying or someone bringing a dog to stay when that hasn’t been stipulated in the handover.
Selecting the right price
This is often difficult and can operate in tandem with the above point. The price you quote needs to reflect the style of property you’re offering, the number of people staying and the length of time they’re residing there. You can also get reliable information from checking out the competition and other listings in your area, travel trends, and the interest people have in the amenities on offer.
