When it comes to picking the right management company , you should meet with at least two or three companies before appointing someone . Ask them the hard questions to get a sense of how comprehensive their services are and what is excluded from their commission . Ask to speak to some of their existing clients too and look up reviews online .
Barring any unforeseen circumstances , this season is shaping up to be the best in seven years . Rates and occupancies are eclipsing pre-Covid levels , with forward bookings on the rise . October / November is the ideal time for hosts to start listing their properties so they can take full advantage of the season , especially with short-term rentals guaranteed to outperform the long-term rental rate over the next six months .
