Why Partner With Boise Vacation Rentals?

We are delighted you have decided to come onboard! 

Here’s what happens next:

• You will sign our management agreement with a designated start date. 
• We will set up your listing on Airbnb or improve it where possible, e.g.: have new photos taken, ensure accuracy of amenities, and change the listing content as needed to improve conversion rate. This metric is quickly explained as ‘let’s turn lookers into bookers.’
• We will enter your listing into our property management system. This process will take a few days.
• We will set up your listing on VRBO. This process will take 1-2 weeks.
• We will ask you for proof of insurance, i.e. your current and valid landlord policy 
• We will get your property up to Boise Vacation Rental’s high standards, which may include the following:

1. Decluttering, redecorating, and repurposing your indoor and outdoor spaces
2. Deep cleaning your property
3. Carrying out needed repairs or maintenance on your premises, including outdoor spaces
4. Optimizing your kitchen setup (i.e. what is inside your drawers and cabinets and available for guest use)
5. We will give you a complete list of action items and the investment associated with it prior to doing anything.

We will look at your current listing in depth before deciding whether it makes sense for us to partner. If we think you’re doing great, we will recommend you keep doing what you’re doing. We will only onboard you if you have enough upside potential for us to make our share of 30% AND for you make at least the same amount as today while gaining peace of mind and getting time back (if you self-manage), OR for you to make more money, if you’re using another property manager today.  Your current manager might tell you that they charge 20%, but due to the many avenues they can pocket (your) money without you catching it, they may be taking upwards of 40% of your profits. We promise transparency – we will take 30%. Not more, not less. This evaluation is FREE OF CHARGE TO YOU.

Self-Managed or Brand-New Short-Term Rentals

If you are just starting out and you have an empty space, i.e. an unfurnished house, or you manage your property yourself, there might be significant investment of time and money for both of us to get your property set up correctly. Our houses all follow the same blueprint in that they must be clutter-free, sleep 8 or more guests comfortably, and be able to truly accommodate large groups. This means: The right number of beds, seating spaces, and coffee mugs, to name some examples. The right type and number of sheets, duvet covers, and pillows. The right setup of your supply closet…the list goes on. That said, our minimum contract term for brand new or self-managed short-term rentals is 12 months. After the first 12 months, the contract becomes a month-to-month agreement, cancelable by either party with 30 days’ notice. 

Short-Term Rentals Currently Managed by a Property Management Company

When we took back our own houses from a local property management company after a year of mismanagement, we had to deep clean the houses, remove broken furniture from the garage, remove stained towels and sheets, and generally bring the houses up to our standards. That whole process took about a month. That said, our minimum contract term for short-term rentals currently managed by a property manager is 6 months. After the first 6 months, the contract becomes a month-to-month agreement, cancelable by either party with 30 days’ notice.
