What is your management fee?
HostStarter charges a flat 12.5% management fee — no setup fees, no onboarding fees, no hidden charges. That’s it. You keep the rest.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. HostStarter operates on month-to-month agreements. You can cancel with 30 days notice at any time. We earn your loyalty through performance, not lock-in contracts.
How quickly can you get my property listed?
Most properties go live within 7–14 days of signing up. This includes professional photography, listing creation on Airbnb and VRBO, pricing setup, and guest communication configuration.
What markets do you operate in?
We currently manage properties in 33 markets across the US and Canada, including major STR destinations like Dallas, Nashville, Gatlinburg, Orlando, Scottsdale, and more. See all markets →
What does “full-service” management actually mean?
Full-service means we handle everything: professional photography, listing optimization, dynamic pricing, 24/7 guest communication, cleaning coordination, maintenance management, and monthly reporting. You hand us the keys and collect your payout.
How does dynamic pricing work?
We adjust your nightly rates daily based on local demand, nearby events, competitor pricing, and seasonal trends. This typically increases annual revenue by 20–35% compared to fixed pricing.
Do you handle maintenance and repairs?
Yes. We coordinate repairs through our local vendor network and keep you informed. We handle urgent issues immediately and get your approval for non-emergency repairs above a threshold you set.
Will I still have access to my property?
Absolutely. You can block dates for personal use through our owner portal at any time. We just ask for reasonable advance notice so we can communicate with any upcoming guests.
How do I get paid?
You receive a direct deposit each month with a detailed statement showing total revenue, our fee, expenses, and your net payout. No surprises, full transparency.
