Whilst on the topic of airbnb host management services, I’m sure many of you are aware of the popularity and practical relevance of outsourcing accommodation to third parties. This is particularly evident when it comes to short-term accommodation, which has traditionally typically been dealing with the independent sector that often lacks the narrow capacity of a large hotel or serviced apartment.
In recent times, more and more people are recourseing to the opportunities that the independent letting sector can present by way of outsourcing. Traditionally the independent sector has been relatively neglected when it comes to the resources the high-end hotel or serviced apartment can offer in terms of overall airbnb host management service. Remember that it is independent landlords who are seeking to add value and efficiency to their accommodations, which is why you will often see such independent units opting for the long-term letting solution that is provided by a neutral accommodation provider; rather than a hotel.
Ensuring you are able to find the right level of accommodation and the appropriate number of bedrooms to rent is a big challenge that normally takes account of a plethora of factors. Leaving your property to a third party is one of these fundamental elements of successfully managing your property. Regardless of whether it’s for a short or long-term stay, managing the property of a third party without airbnb host management services is a logistical nightmare. Getting a third party committed to the management of your property to ensure that you are receiving the level of service you require at the appropriate time is vastly superior to the challenge faced by the independent property landlord. Therefore, if you are seeking to Leverage the success of the property investment sector as a whole there is a strong argument for considering the independent letting sector as an occupier and a marketplace that can offer a far wider set of services and a much wider array of services interactions.
Having said that, there are a few key considerations you must take into account when choosing airbnb host management services. This is mainly due to the nature of the requirements faced by the resort property landlord.
The first and arguably most significant difficulty for the property landlord seeking to Outsource accommodation management is the need to insert a suitable management presence. There are a lot of companies that do managed accommodation management, however a lot of them are also for-profit. There are therefore two distinct choices to be made, the choice to choose a managed accommodation service that is a for-profit business or the choice to locate an airbnb host management service as a neutral accommodation provider. The trouble with a for-profit business model is that it is likely to attract a fairly large premium, because of the value it delivers. However, up to this point in the concessionary process it is worth considering; all factors must be considered in order to ensure you can financially afford to hire a third-party provider.
If we take the second option outlined above, then Yes, you can expect the management of your property to be of a high quality and you will be certain that your variable underlying costs will be maintained. On the other hand, you have no real confidence that the airbnb host management service you are choosing is of a high enough quality to deliver on their promises. You have no real surety of how they will maintain the property, how they are applied, or what their expected quality standards are and in a lot of cases you will only find after-the-fact excuses for their performance deficiencies.
So, using a managed accommodation service as a neutral platform to deliver on promises made to you in a letting sense is not the best course of action to take. The easiest route to choose is to choose a managed accommodation service that is aligned with your own standards and expectations about airbnb host management service excellence. The reason why this is so important is that the quality of a managed property has such a significant impact upon the running of the property and the levels of net return achieved at any point in the occupancy cycle. You cannot achieve this with a for-profit business.
The biggest stumbling block for property investors is the often significant premium that is payable in using a third-party provider or outsourcing a service. This is likely to be an additional expense to factor in, however, it must be remembered that the expense cannot be ignored in the overall property project with airbnb host management services. When the beneficiary is the investor’s property,Why not aim for an all out, No frills property solution which delivers on promises made and generates returns proportionate to investment level.
So, in Summary:
A managed property solution that is aligned to the investor’s property objectives is the best way to ensure superior levels of service for both the property landlord and the tenant.
