Full-Service vs. Co-Host vs. Self-Management
Full-service property managers handle everything: listing creation, pricing, guest communication, check-in, housekeeping coordination, and maintenance. They typically charge 20–30% of gross revenue. This is the most hands-off option but costs the most.
Co-hosts are independent operators who manage day-to-day guest operations on your behalf for a lower fee (typically 10–20%). They often provide local coordination, key exchanges, and guest support but may not handle maintenance or large-scale marketing.
Self-management keeps the most revenue but requires significant time investment: responding to inquiries, managing your calendar, coordinating cleaning, handling issues, and staying current on platform best practices. Expect 5–10 hours per week for an active property.
