Co-hosting to different Airbnbs

[Jess155]

Hi fellow hosts. 

I have one Airbnb of my own.  I have been asked to co-host a few others.  I would love input.

First co-host opportunity. The owners live outside the state. Right now I am just getting paid for cleaning.  The owner answers the guest first communications. But any extra problems or questions I help with.  

I want to talk with them if more of a management position.  What persentage is fair?

Second co-host opportunity.  The owner doesn't want to deal with anything....so what persentage could I ask for there?

Thanks for your input.  I am so nervous and excited!

@Jess155  In the first instance you can request perhaps 10-15% above your cleaning fee.   You can advise them of what you would take if full service (see below) and see what they do.  If a percentage is not amenable to them, decide on a task sheet, assign values and track your hours for monthly billing,  I.E., service calls are $30, replacing supplies or arranging repairs is $25 per hour, etc.

In the second instance, you can probably ask for 20-25% of the entire rental transaction.  Find out what a real estate company in your area charges their clients.  Where I am, they charge a whopping 30% but all the host ever has to worry about is the arrival of the monthly check from the realtor.
