Co-Hosting
Co-hosting is when someone other than the property owner helps run a short-term rental. A co-host might handle guest messaging, coordinate cleaners, manage the calendar, or take on the whole operation, usually in exchange for a fixed fee or a percentage of booking revenue.
Co-hosting is often the first step from hosting a single property toward running a small property management business. Automation lets a co-host take on more listings without proportionally more work.
