Owner Questions
Questions owners ask us most.
If your question isn't here, call or send a note. We answer quickly and plainly.
- What is midterm rental management?
- Midterm rentals are furnished stays of roughly 30 to 90 days. We market, host, and care for your property for professionals on assignment, traveling nurses, relocating families, and other qualified guests. Longer stays can provide steadier income with fewer turnovers than nightly rentals.
- How is co-hosting different from traditional property management?
- Our approach is built around furnished stays and hospitality. In addition to pricing and bookings, we manage the guest experience, property readiness, inspections, cleaning and maintenance coordination, and owner reporting. We work in the background as your support team, and your strategy is customized to your home and approved by you before launch.
- Whose listing is it, and who gets the reviews?
- The listing belongs to you. You stay front and center: the account, the listing, the guest reviews and the reputation are all yours. Homebase Collective works in the background, providing the systems, support and guidance that keep your listing performing well.
- How do I get paid?
- All payouts go directly to you from the booking platform you choose. Homebase Collective never sits between you and your money.
- Which booking platforms do you work with?
- Airbnb is our primary platform today, and we can also set up and manage VRBO and Furnished Finder listings.
- What occupancy should I expect?
- Across more than four years of hosting in Northern Colorado we have maintained occupancy between 80 and 90 percent. Your property's location, condition and pricing strategy all factor in, and we build a custom projection with you before we begin.
- How are your fees structured?
- We offer full-service management and partial co-hosting as a percentage of gross rental income, or a flat monthly retainer. Every engagement includes a one-time setup fee covering listing creation, photography, system and workflow setup. We quote your property specifically after a short conversation.
- Can I choose only some services?
- Yes. Full service is our most popular plan, but the scope can be customized or selected à la carte as a hybrid co-hosting model.
- How are guests screened?
- We target qualified midterm guests and review every inquiry, verify identity and purpose of stay, and set clear house rules and expectations before confirming a booking.
- What reporting do I receive as an owner?
- Payout reports, income and expense summaries for the expenses we manage, booking reports with guest feedback, check-in and check-out inspection reports, and monthly inspection reports for longer stays.
- Do you serve my city?
- We work throughout Northern Colorado, including Fort Collins, Loveland, Johnstown, Greeley, Windsor and the surrounding communities. If you're nearby, ask. We likely cover you.
- Do you furnish properties?
- We provide staging guidance and an owner readiness checklist as part of onboarding, and offer full staging setup, essentials inventory rental and professional photography as separate services.
