What 25% gets you when you genuinely don’t want to think about your rental—and when that trade-off actually makes sense.
Most property management companies say “hands-off.” Then a pipe bursts at 11 PM and suddenly you’re fielding texts, approving vendors, and Venmo-ing a plumber you’ve never met.
Our Premium Plan is designed for one specific type of owner: someone who wants rental income but literally zero operational involvement. Not “minimal” involvement. Zero.
Here’s what that actually looks like—and what it costs.
What You Get at 25%
Premium is our only plan with in-house housekeeping. That means turnover quality is consistent, timing is coordinated directly with check-ins, and when a guest reports a stained duvet at 4 PM before a same-day turnover, we handle it without a single message to you.
You also get full maintenance management. We don’t send you three contractor quotes and wait for approval. We have vetted vendors in every C&C market. When something breaks, we fix it. You get an invoice summary monthly, and that’s it.
No approval texts. No “what do you think?” emails. No spending your Saturday calling electricians.
For context: the average STR owner spends 4–7 hours per month on housekeeping coordination, maintenance triage, and guest communication during stays. At a $75/hour opportunity cost (conservative for most Premium clients), that’s $300–$525/month you’re spending in time.
When Premium Makes Sense
This plan works for three profiles:
Out-of-state investors. If your property is in Nashville and you live in Boston, Premium eliminates the 2 AM coordination nightmare. You’re not flying in to meet a contractor.
High-earning professionals. If your effective hourly rate is $150+, paying an extra 5–10% in management fees to reclaim 5+ hours a month is a simple ROI decision.
Legacy or estate properties. If you inherited a property or manage it for family, Premium keeps it profitable without adding to your plate.
What It Costs You (Really)
Premium is 25% vs. 15% for Advanced. On a property generating $6,000/month, that’s an extra $600.
But Advanced requires you to approve maintenance, coordinate external housekeepers, and stay in the loop. Premium clients tell us they’d pay the $600 just to stop being the bottleneck on turnover day.
The bigger cost question: is the 10% gap worth more than the time you’d spend managing those details yourself? For most Premium clients, it’s not even close.
The Trade-Off
You pay more. In return, your rental runs like a business you own but don’t operate. You check a dashboard once a month. You see revenue. You don’t see group texts with housekeepers or vendor quotes for HVAC repairs.
If that sounds worth 25%, Premium is the plan. If you’d rather save margin and stay involved in the weeds, Advanced is the better fit.
