An exciting thing is happening in the real estate industry; the technology sector has finally entered and embraced this age-old industry.
Today we have improved processes and efficiencies
across the board and, for many, higher investment returns.
Companies like Blackstone for example, have acquired nearly $600
billion in real estate world wide.
That just wasn't possible to manage in the recent past.
This week I will be discussing why I beleive virtual management is
the future of all property management.
I've
been scaling slowly but have certainly learned a lot over the
years. After managing over 25,000 guests with my team and I don’t
want you to make the same mistakes I’ve made.
It’s important to always remember there are two sides to every
story.
So from the less exciting side, today’s story reads…
“Short term rental owner fails to manage his property
professionally, or hire the right manager, and now has another job
has to go back to his day-job because his expenses have exceeded
income”
So what do you do?
Option #1: You can catch all the latest youtube
videos, blogs, and podcast episodes pulling out every tip and trick
you’ve learned. This works for a lot of us (and recommended if you
have the time) but a lot of us don’t have the time.
Option #2: Explore virtual management options
where you can use the expertise of established companies (or
co-hosts) to manage your properties professionally and many times
at a discounted rate compared to traditional STR managers.
Option #3: You turn to your local property manager
knowing they have a firm grasp on the local market but the 25%
commission digs even deeper into your pocketbook.
Whatever way we go we need to be careful with who we
entrust to help us with our properties and if we are managing them
ourselves we need to make sure we don’t skip any steps–the same
steps professionals dedicate their careers to staying on top
of.
My pick? Option #2.
Let’s talk about what exactly virtual management is, why I think
it’s the future for most STR owners, and what you need to know if
you are interested in having your property virtually managed (or
are planning on doing it for someone else).
