Multi-Unit Owners

Who We Help

Multi-Unit Owners

It is not uncommon for homeowners to experience changes in their lives or adjustments to their portfolios that results in a property they own to be empty or unused for a significant amount of time. Financial managers will typically encourage property owners to create cost neutral assets by the activation of revenue through rental or leasing. Properties with the option for nightly rental can capitalize on this opportunity if they balance it with the rules and laws of the property location and maintain good relations with their neighbors.

Rental and leasing of your own property are activities that can be conducted by common citizens. Leasing can take longer to find tenants while overnight rental is quick to activate and initially looks like very good income. This makes properly zoned, overnight rental options, very attractive to second and third homeowners. Costs and fees to get a property on sites like AirBN or VRBO are reasonable.

Rental is a Full Time Business

Renting a property for quick turns is still a business that requires significant time, resources, and organization. Most homeowners get quickly irritated by the property cleaning, maintenance, renter requests and constant updating of the reservation booking engine. After a short time, most homeowners look to have the business handled by a manager. There are several options in this area including Property Managers and Hospitality Service Companies. Manor Blue is a Hospitality Service Company that specializes in smaller organizations and provides hospitality business solutions.

Rental Management and Hospitality Service Companies

Significant rental income for property owners can be achieved by utilizing a rental management company that operates multiple units in an area. A good management company creates an environment of efficiency and enhanced services. This typically results in quicker maintenance, savings on supplies and higher quality or expanded services for their managed properties. A rental property business can do well by just being listed and maintained effectively by an efficient and well-connected manager.

Optimum management of a property, balancing the income, the guest experience and the home asset is achieved with adding a Hospitality Service Company (HSC). An HSC like Manor Blue ensures quality for the guest stay that keeps rates and ratings high. Manor Blue works to maximize revenue opportunities above typical nightly rental fees, proactively addressing issues and expanding preventative maintenance, bridging the gap between traditional lodging expectations and home rental. Manor Blue can operate the property completely or work in tandem with a local property management company.

Community Rules

The unfortunate common issues in communities operating nightly rental are nightly renters bringing more vehicles or occupants than allowed in addition to having additional friends or guests visit the property. This can make a neighbor resident the victim of traffic and noise that isn’t necessary illegal, but extremely annoying. This often creates tension unnecessarily between neighbors. HOAs with rental must be proactive about the rental options and define acceptable operators.

Being a good rental neighbor to the community residents means having good oversight of the property during rentals. As your HSC, Manor Blue takes quick, decisive actions when there are issues with renters. We believe the most important tool for successful rentals, is to set the tone with the nightly renter from the start of the booking. By clearly indicating that a manager is onsite, nearby, present, available, and aware of what is going on at the property can proactively reduce bookings from guests who intend to break the rules.
