Frequently Asked Questions
We respect that property owners value their investments and may have various questions when first introduced to our management model. Here, we address some of the most common questions and concerns to provide you with clarity and reassurance.
What is rental arbitrage and how does it work?
Rental arbitrage involves leasing a property long-term (3-4 years), furnishing and managing it, and then subleasing it as a short-term rental. This allows property owners steady income without the hassle of managing short-term rentals themselves, and ensuring true passive income.
How do you ensure the safety of my property?
We ensure high-quality security systems are in place, including outdoor security cameras and smart locks to closely monitor who is entering and exiting the property at all times. These measures provide enhanced security for your property and peace of mind for both you and guests.
How do you market the property to attract guests?
We leverage multiple high-traffic STR online platforms and employ advance marketing strategies, including professional photography, optimized listings, and dynamic pricing, to ensure your property is highly visible and attracts bookings.
What fees or costs are associated with your services?
We do not charge commissions for our services. There are no hidden fees, and we cover operational costs, including professional cleaning services, insurance, and standard maintenance expenses. Major repairs or non-standard maintenance costs are handled per our agreement with you. Any remaining earnings are reinvested into the business to ensure our service quality remains high. This approach allows us to provide exceptional service without additional costs to you.
What kind of insurance coverage do you provide?
We provide comprehensive insurance coverage through Airbnb’s insurance policy, which covers up to $1 million in damages. Additionally, we insure the property with our own liability insurance, which is coverage traditional tenants do not typically offer.
How do you handle situations where guests damage the property?
We have a stringent guest screening process and a security deposit system in place. In case of any damage, we handle the repairs and file claims with our insurance providers to cover the costs, ensuring your property is restored promptly. Timely property intervention is crucial to resume cash flow and minimize losses by quickly getting the property back on the market for new guests.
How do you handle rent fluctuations during off-seasons? Will my rent fluctuate as well?
We use dynamic pricing strategies to adjust rental rates based on demand, ensuring maximum occupancy even during off-seasons. By leveraging advanced data analytics and market trends, we can offer competitive pricing that attracts guests year-round. This approach helps to stabilize income and mitigate the impact of seasonal fluctuations on your cash flow. Regardless of these fluctuations, we guarantee that rent will always be paid in full and on time, providing you with consistent and reliable income.
Can’t I do this all myself?
You certainly can manage the rental process yourself! However, we encourage owners to take some time to consider the extensive amount of time, effort, and knowledge required to operate your property as an STR independently. Coordinating furniture and design, professional cleaning teams, maintenance, listings, ensuring your calendar is booked can be incredibly demanding work. With Silent Moon Properties, we take on all of these responsibilities so you can sit back and enjoy stable, passive income, knowing your property is expertly mananged.
How do you handle repairs and maintenance issues?
We handle all repairs and maintenance through our hand selected and dedicated team of professionals, including professional house cleaners and handymen. Our proactive and preventative maintenance approach prevents issues before they become costly and ensures your property remains in excellent condition.
What is your screening process like for guest?
We take guest screening very seriously, especially for longer stays (30 days or more). Every guest is thoroughly vetted, and we ensure ID’s are verified by Airbnb. We avoid guests who provide vague answers during our vetting process or have negative reviews. We also consider how communicative guests are and how promptly they respond. This detailed screening process helps maintain the safety and care of your property.
What happens if I want to terminate the agreement?
We understand that circumstances can change. Our lease agreements include terms for early termination, typically requiring a notice period and possibly an early termination fee to cover costs incurred.
Do you have references from other property owners?
We are happy to provide references upon request!
