Short Term / Vacation Consulting Services

---

Curious about short term (“vacation”) rentals? Don’t know where to start? 

Rent828 can help you navigate through the complicated registration system, state and local tourism requirements and get your property set up and ready for your first guests in no time.

Rent828 is proud to be a tourism partner with the Henderson County Tourism Development Authority. Through operating our own vacation rentals we’ve maintained consistent “Superhost” status, AirBnB’s highest standard for host professionalism and service. We know what’s required to enter this lucrative, emerging market…and what’s needed to stay competitive and profitable.

Rather than managing your vacation rental for you, we’ve developed a flat fee service that provides everything an owner needs to get started with their new investment property. 

Some of our services include:

• Initial inspection of your rental property, with suggestions on how to stage your unit and what amenities to offer.
• Review major vacation rental sites for your consideration including VRBO, HomeAway, AirBnB, Booking.com and more. 
• Photograph your rental.
• Register your rental with the vacation rental sites of your choosing and provide you information on available online services that can streamline your booking calendars.
• Connect you with local service vendors who can handle some, or all, of the work required (cleaning, stocking, linens) for your new rental once you’re up and running.
• Register your new rental business with the North Carolina Department of Revenue.
• Register your new rental with your county’s tourism office.
• Review current state sales tax, occupancy taxes and county taxes specific to your location.
• Provide you written steps to follow for local, county and state entities to stay in compliance with each and not miss deadlines for filing.

Our experience has shown us most owners want to maximize their profits by managing their own rentals. But navigating through the steps of putting a property online and properly following the state and county registration and tax collections is intimidating. This is where Rent828 can help.
