Empire Estates (2024)

People often ask what makes a successful STR business, and if we had to summarize it in one word, it would be authenticity.

Ensuring that we’re genuinely dedicated and committed to providing both our guests and clients with 5 star experiences has become somewhat of a second nature to us.

Being devoted to serving those we work with has become our passion and a focal point of our business, and at the end of the day, we wouldn’t have it any other way 🙂

⭐️New Property! New Location!⭐️

That's right, with STRs the property being managed does not have to be local. This new property under our management is in Raleigh, North Carolina.

A current client here who owns property in NC wanted us to manage this property as well, and because of the systems we have in place we are able to get it done.

This listing has been up for just under a month and is currently running at 88% occupancy.

If you or someone you know has a property they would like to start earning more from then you know who to call!

How can you start earning more income off property?

Renting out a property as a Short Term Rental (STR) on platforms such as Airbnb can be done by anyone, and in a variety of ways that many people are not familiar with. So, what are these different ways of doing it, and what are the pros and cons of each?

The first method of renting out a space can be done if you own the property – this is the best option since you have full control, and 100% of the revenue goes to you and paying down your own mortgage. The downside of course is that acquiring multiple properties requires significant upfront capital.

The second option is rental arbitrage, this is where you would lease a property then sub lease it as a STR – this method is advantageous in the fact that you don’t need the capital required to purchase a property, however, you are then a tenant paying off the landlord’s mortgage. This option typically carries the most overheard.

The third and final method of running short term rentals is through management – this is when you would simply be managing someone else’s property as a STR. This is a great option once you have extensive experience and can confidently handle any situations that come up while managing another investors property.

At Empire Estates we’ve become very familiar with all three options, and continue to operate our business today while utilizing all three of these avenues to run our STRs.

If you have questions about STRs, or would like to start earning more with this business model then get in touch with us, we’d love to hear from you!

Happy Victoria Day everyone! Hope you’re all enjoying the holiday, but for us, it’s business as usual.

One downside to running a short term rental business is that we have to be available 24/7/365.

But the positive? This means that someone from our team is always here for you, whether you’re a guest, a client, or even someone who simply wants to know more about what we do.

Questions? We answer them!
Concerns? We settle them!
Problems? We solve them!

Finally, a battle of Alberta in the playoffs after 31 years, we've waited long enough! Game 1 definitely did not disappoint (unless you’re an Oilers fan).

We're experts in managing short term rentals, not hockey teams, but if we had to pick we're saying Flames in 6. Let's go Flames!!
🔥🔥🔥

🌟New Property Listed🌟

This unit is one that we had as a long term rental for years. Once the tenants we’re ready to move on it was clear that it was time to convert this space to a short term rental.

Having long term tenants is a great traditional way to gain equity in your property without being out of pocket each month after covering expenses. Typically, with this option, breaking even each month is a fair trade.

But what if you could continue gaining that equity, and have extra money in your pocket each month after expenses? That is the beauty of short term rentals. This option could provide you with an extra $500-1k every month! 🤩

If you have a rental property and would like to start leveraging that space to work for you, then get in touch with us. We’re looking forward to hearing from you!

Reviews on Airbnb aren't just about how nice the place was or how convenient the location may be, although those parts are important!

They're also there to highlight the communication between guests and hosts so everyone can feel comfortable before heading into their short term rental.

Whether handling situations with guests or with clients, we always make clear communication a priority. 🗣👂👍🤝

Do Short Term Rentals allow pets? That is a fantastic question, but one that does not come with a straight answer.

The short version is yes, pets are absolutely permitted in STRs (provided it is in line with building policies), however the ultimate decision comes down to each host’s individual preference.

Now if a guest showed up with a pet looking like our friend Chewy here, then we can’t say for certain he would be allowed to enter! 😂

Happy 4th of May to all our Star Wars fans out there; may the 4th be with you!

You may notice that the resolution on these photos are different than some of our other properties, and that's because it is! Our client for this listing wanted to use the photos she took from her phone. We were so confident in our ability to market this space that we decided we could go ahead and use the photos off her iPhone.

-

Not to our surprise, this listing has maintained 100% occupancy since hitting the market. 💪

-

When we work with a client we see it as a partnership, one where we work in unison and help one another to grow and achieve our goals together. 🤝😊

All about those reviews! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

That's one of the most beautiful things about STRs, not only can hosts and guests read reviews about one another, but it's a great way for people to connect and get to know one another in a way that's positive and creates meaningful interactions. This just goes to show the type of positivity and unity that STRs can create when they are managed in a professional manner.

Can you imagine if typical long term rental situations allowed reviews for landlords and tenants??!! No, I would rather not imagine that scenario 😂

Happy Monday Yall!!!

What is it about STRs (short term rentals) that is so appealing? Whether you’re a guest or a host, the benefits of STRs far outweigh those of their traditional counterparts such as hotels or long term renters.

-

For GUESTS:

> Entire spaces like houses, townhomes or condo units, compared to a single room in a hotel.

> Fully stocked properties that are truly a home away from home.

> Dedicated support available 24/7.

> Thoughtful welcome books and guides.

> Spaces that include full kitchens and laundry.

> Convenient and easy check-in/check-outs that don’t require any keys, cards or waiting in a lobby.

-

For HOSTS:

> Higher monthly income compared to long term rentals.

> Shorter stays mean less wear and tear to your home.

> Professional cleaning, sanitization, and inspections to your property after every check-out.

> In depth screening and reviews of each guest so you always know who is staying in your home.

> Damages are repaired immediately – damaged property cannot be used as a STR.

> All damages are covered by STR insurance, so you’re never out of pocket for repairs.

> Noise monitor devices ensure there are never any parties or events that get out of control.

-

The list goes on, and we would love to continue, but no one is on Facebook to read an essay on STRs! If you would like to learn more then check this out: https://www.rslempire.com/str-benefits

However, it’s important to remember that these benefits are only attainable if the property is managed in a professional manner 100% of the time. If you’re looking for a beautiful space to stay in Calgary, or if you’re a landlord interested in STRs, then get in touch with us. We can’t wait to hear from you!
