Why should I choose you instead of a local property management company?

Lodgex isn’t just another property management company - we’re Airbnb specialists. As Superhosts, we understand the unique strategies and details that make a listing stand out on Airbnb. From dynamic pricing to guest communication and optimizing for the Airbnb algorithm, we know how to maximize your revenue. Plus, because we’re entirely focused on short-term rentals, we bring a level of expertise and attention that general property managers simply can’t match.

How are your fees structured?

We offer transparent, performance-based pricing. Our fee is typically a percentage of the revenue your property generates, so we only succeed when you do. There are no hidden charges, and we provide a detailed breakdown of our services so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

What happens if there is a guest issue during their stay?

We handle it for you! From resolving minor complaints to addressing emergencies, we’re available 24/7 to ensure your guests have a smooth and enjoyable stay. Our goal is to resolve issues quickly and professionally to protect your property, maintain your reviews, and minimize any disruption to you.

Why should I choose short-term rentals over a standard, long-term lease?

Short-term rentals often generate 2-3x the income of a traditional long-term lease. They also provide more flexibility - if you decide to sell your property or use it yourself, you can do so without waiting for a long-term lease to expire. Plus, there is less wear and tear on your property meaning your investment lasts longer and regular maintenance is always completed. No more remodeling properties every time a tenant moves out.

Are short-term rentals riskier than long-term ones?

While short-term rentals come with their own set of challenges, such as fluctuating demand and guest turnover, they’re not necessarily riskier. With proper management, these risks can be mitigated. For instance, we optimize pricing based on market trends, carefully screen guests, and coordinate all aspects of maintenance to ensure your property is protected.

Do I need to comply with local laws for Airbnb hosting?

Yes, and compliance is key to a successful hosting experience. Laws for short-term rentals vary by location and may include zoning rules, permitting, and taxes. We’ll help you navigate these requirements to ensure your property is fully compliant and avoid any potential issues.

How are taxes handled for short-term rental income?

Short-term rental income is taxable, and you’ll need to report it on your taxes just like any other rental property. Depending on your location, occupancy taxes may also apply. We will keep accurate records of your earnings and expenses to help you stay compliant and Airbnb typically collects and remits occupancy taxes on your behalf in certain areas. For personalized advice though, we do recommend consulting a tax advisor.

How do I get started with you as my Airbnb co-host?

It’s simple! Start by scheduling a free consultation with us. We’ll discuss your property, goals, and needs, and outline a plan tailored to you. From there, we’ll guide you through the setup process and take care of the rest to get your listing live and optimized for success.

What happens if I decide to stop using your services?

You’re free to cancel at any time with no long-term contracts or penalties. If you decide to manage your property on your own, we’ll provide a smooth transition and ensure you have everything you need to succeed.

What types of properties do you manage?

We specialize in short-term rentals, from single-family homes to apartments and vacation properties. Whether you're just starting out or managing a portfolio of properties, we can help.

Can I still use my property for personal stays?

Absolutely! With short-term rentals, you have full control over your property’s availability. Just let us know when you’d like to block dates for personal use, and we’ll ensure your calendar reflects it.

Do you handle cleaning and maintenance?

While we don’t provide cleaning or maintenance services ourselves at this time, we do coordinate everything on your behalf. If you already have a cleaner or maintenance staff in place, we’ll work directly with them to ensure everything runs smoothly. If not, we can take care of establishing a staff to care for your property.
