Vacayo

Airbnb has ignited a fast-growing interest in the short-term rental market. But most landlords still rent the “traditional” way or let their properties sit empty. Many pay high broker fees to secure a tenant, but still face vacancy risks because brokers only find tenants for a fee - they don’t guarantee their work. When landlords do find tenants, they’re burdened with managing every issue that arises during their tenancy - background checks, move-in/out, collecting rents, etc. The whole process is clunky, costly and time-consuming. Vacayo built a tech-powered solution for landlords that gives them true passive income. Unlike traditional property managers, Vacayo is fee-less! Vacayo relies on an arbitrage model, using our machine-learning algorithm to assess the earning potential of a home in real time. Landlords no longer have to choose between capitalizing on their investment and spending time with family!
