You know that managing a rental can be a lot of work, but the challenge is even greater when you live far away. You need to learn how to manage it successfully without commuting every time you have a guest. So, how can you do this as smoothly and easily as possible? 
First, let’s talk about the key exchange. We don’t recommend hiding a key because there are security issues with that. Instead, consider using a lockbox or a smart lock. A smart lock is the most convenient option since all the guest needs is to plug in a code to get into the building. There’s no key required, so you don’t have to worry about it being lost or copied. You can easily change the code after each guest too. The problem with this option is that it leaves you open to some possible difficulties. If the smart lock fails, your guests could be left frustrated and unable to access the unit. Because of this, guests must have someone nearby to reach out to if the unfortunate should happen.
You also need vendors available to take care of cleaning and maintenance. By partnering with vendors who can answer emergency calls at a moment’s notice, you can keep guests satisfied and coming back. Finding the right vendors, on the other hand, can be tricky. You want to ensure that the vendors you choose are honest and reliable. The good news is when you partner with PMI, you gain access to excellent maintenance and housekeeping solutions.
Give your guests a way to get a hold of someone 24/7. They may have questions or concerns come up. In some cases, these issues might be urgent, so guests need to know there is someone they can reach. Provide your guests with the contact information they can use when these situations arise. Your local property manager at PMI can easily handle this.
You can keep an eye on your property by installing a doorbell camera or other security cameras. Just make sure your guests know if there are cameras on the premises and always respect their privacy. This can be helpful, but it’s not always enough. When you work with a property manager, you can rest assured that someone is keeping an eye on your property more personally than that of a doorbell camera, which is more limited in its offerings.
Provide guests with a detailed guidebook to explain all of the rules and specifics of your property. It’s also good to include some helpful information about the area, including restaurants and things to do. A property manager can ensure that your guests have this information readily available when they stay at your property.
Make things easy by hiring a property manager to ensure your guests get into the property without issues. They can keep an eye on your property and ensure it stays in excellent condition. When you partner with PMI, you get access to an experienced local manager and amazing vendors. You gain peace of mind and increase guest satisfaction. It’s a win-win.
