Vacation Rental Owner Ads Update

The website navigation of the RBO Vacation Ads site was revised with a vacation rental owner ads update to enhance signing up for listing USA vacation rentals. The previous signup for rental owners could be confused with the signup for becoming a member to view and save favorite USA vacation rental property listings.

The link in the left navigation of the main site includes a section for USA vacation property owners with the option to Signup to List Rentals of your vacation property, plus other owner resources. Visitors who own vacation homes for short term rental may have signed up by mistake as a member and when they sign in they will not see the option to add listings.

Members are tourists, or guests, who search for vacation rental property. By signing up as a member they have the option of saving favorites, saving searches, and subscribing to RSS feeds to learn when new properties are listed.

Vacation property agent-owners have rentals to offer, and although they are classified as "agents" in places on this site, the term agent does not imply real estate agent. Listings of vacation rental homes or villas may be submitted by the actual property owner, a property management company, and certainly by realtors who manage USA vacation rental property.

Property Managers for Vacation Rentals

Rent by owner vacation property owners who choose to personally manage their vacation rental home may want to consider the advantages of using property managers for vacation rentals. Based on real world feedback from professional property managers who work hard to exceed vacation property owner expectations, some of the advantages of outsourcing property management may not be obvious to owners.

Consider a recent situation for a Florida vacation rental property owner, and the difference made by having a dependable property management company to contact. A vacation rental property owner lost use of their home in the middle of the peak Florida vacation rental season due to a fire. Damage was covered by insurance and recovery was possible by completing repairs within 30 days. However, the owner was frantic at the potential loss in credibility from an entire month of booked paid guests expecting to enjoy a carefree vacation rental home, and no place to stay.

After posting an urgent request for help in a vacation rental property forum, a central Florida property manager came to the rescue. They quickly replied offering to help and were able to accommodate all the guests by finding open dates from multiple vacation rental properties that they managed.

Property management companies are especially useful for long distance vacation rental property owners unable to keep an eye on their investment. The value of a local property manager looking after your best interests allows peace of mind including those rare times when disaster strikes. Due diligence is required in contacting property managers, and our advice is always asking for referrals to find one that is dependable, and check their vacation property owner references before making a commitment.

Vacation Rental Home Asset Utilization

Competition for USA vacation rental home bookings will increase as investment property owners realize the value of asset utilization, and more vacation rental homes become available. Those looking to sell that second home may consider rent by owner revenue options rather than sell a home at a loss or minimal profit. As one example of the real estate market, Florida average property value depreciated 5% in 2007 and another 6% depreciation is expected by the end of 2008.

The market for USA vacation rental homes in 2008 has weakened with the economy. As reported before, the trend for USA tourists is last minute decisions to go on vacation, or just stay home. That will change as the economy improves. Vacation rental home property owners represent 25% of investment property owners offering their private second home for rent by owner. The 75% who do not rent use those homes a few weeks per year, or perhaps more if they allow friends or relatives to use the property for vacation. The asset utilization is extremely low at 20% when the home is occupied only 10 weeks annually.

Home owners from that 75% with investment property who do not rent may be looking to improve asset utilization and make the decision to generate vacation rental revenue sooner than later. The rent by owner vacation rental market can expect an increase in competition as more owners choose rent by owner as a means to offset costs.

Vacation rental home owners need to reevaluate market conditions and adjust how they promote their rent by owner property to remain competitive. One option is a free 6 month vacation rental listing on the RBO Vacation Ads website.
