GrowthSignal #25 on the radar

Run someone else's short-term rental for a share of the booking

Take over the listing, the pricing, the guest messaging and the turnovers for an owner who has the property and none of the hours, paid a percentage of what it books. No lease, no deposit, no furniture — the opposite of arbitrage, where rent falls due on empty months. Whether short-term stays are allowed where you live decides the whole thing first.

Our read on the gapOpinion

The owner has the asset and none of the hours; the co-host takes the hours and none of the lease.

Payment is a share of what the property books, which ties the income to a calendar somebody else owns and leaves the cost of an empty month with the owner rather than on a lease you signed. The schedule comes from strangers' flights: a guest locked out at 11pm is the job, and a cleaner who has to turn the place around between two bookings on one day is where it actually fails.
