Something else on your mind? Write to office@bellaoto.com and we will answer it directly.
What does the 18.5% cover?
Listing and pricing, guest communication, cleaning and turnover scheduling, vendor coordination, lodging tax filing and your monthly statement. The costs of running the home, like cleaning, supplies, utilities and repairs, are paid from your rental revenue and itemized on your statement.
Can I still use my home?
Yes. Tell us your dates and we will block the calendar. There is no management fee on your own stays.
How and when do I get paid?
Booking revenue is held in a client account for your property. By the 15th of each month you receive a statement for the month before, along with your payout.
Do you need my approval to spend money?
For anything over $500, yes. Routine costs like cleaning and pool service are paid as they come up. Bigger repairs wait for your OK.
Who holds the short-term rental permit?
You do. The permit stays in your name, and we help you keep up with its requirements, including the lodging taxes the platforms don’t collect.
What if it isn’t working out?
The agreement is month to month. Give us 60 days’ notice and we will wrap up with a final accounting.
Let’s talk about your property.
Tell us where your home is, how many bedrooms it has and whether it is listed today. We will take it from there.
