Properties from owners already open to arbitrage, co-hosting, and management partnerships. Skip the cold outreach and the Facebook groups. Browse deals where the landlord is already in.
Vantage lists properties from owners who have already agreed to short-term rental use, so you skip the convincing entirely. Browse by market and partnership type: arbitrage, co-hosting, or management. Every owner here is already open to it. Outside Vantage, you would be cold-calling for-rent listings and working investor groups to find the rare landlord who says yes.
Landlords want proof of insurance ($1-2M liability), your track record (Airbnb reviews, portfolio size), business entity documentation, references from current landlords, and a clear explanation of how you'll protect their property.
Not necessarily. Most successful operators pay market rate or slightly below, especially during ramp-up when you're investing $8-15k in furnishing and building reviews. Offering above-market rent often signals desperation and cuts into margins that make deals viable.
You need commercial general liability insurance ($1-2M minimum) that covers STR operations. Providers like Proper Insurance and CBIZ specialize in STR policies. Platform coverage like AirCover is supplemental, not primary. Landlords will ask for a certificate naming them as additional insured.
Lead with their concerns, not your opportunity. Explain your insurance coverage, show your track record, describe how often the property gets cleaned (25-35x/year), and emphasize your investment in their property ($8-15k furnishing). Position yourself as a business partner, not just a tenant.
Explicit permission for short-term subletting, insurance requirements, maintenance thresholds, early termination conditions, what happens if regulations change, and any rent concession schedules. Many operators use commercial lease structures rather than residential.
List the markets you cover and browse properties on Vantage. Owners who want a co-host, someone to run their listing while they keep ownership and split the revenue, are already here looking. You can also set up a Deal Finder storefront so owners and operators find you for co-hosting work directly.
Vantage connects you with owners who want their short-term rental run for them, on a co-host or full-management split. Instead of cold-pitching your services, you reach owners who have already listed because they want a partner. Browse by market and reach out to the ones that fit your model.
Off-market deals come from owners not advertising on the major rental sites and from Deal Finders who source them directly. On Vantage, owners list specifically to partner with an operator, and you can hire a Deal Finder to hunt your target market and deliver underwritten deals before they hit anywhere else.
Vantage is the STR marketplace where owners find operators and operators find owners. One platform, every partnership model, every step from first look to signed. Visit Vantage or see how it works.
