Frequently asked questions
Common Questions From Owners
Do I need a short-term rental permit?
It depends on where the home is. Rules for short-term rentals vary by city and county, and some require a license or permit before you can list. We check the local rules that apply to your property before it goes live. If your home is in Arizona, our guide to Phoenix and Scottsdale short-term rental regulations is a good place to start.
Read the Arizona regulations guideHow much can my property earn?
It depends on the location, size, season, pricing and how well the listing is presented, so we do not promise a number. For a starting point, try our free Airbnb revenue calculator, or ask us for a free revenue estimate for your home.
Open the revenue calculatorWhat platforms do you list on?
We list homes on Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Google Vacation Rentals, and we can build a direct booking site for your property so guests can reserve with you directly.
