@Cheryl741 I am a remote host with just one listing. We live some 400 miles from our cottage so although we do not have a co-host we do have a very good friend and neighbour who keeps a close eye on things. We did offer to make her a co-host and pay her but she declined.. so we just ‘spoil’ her several times a year instead. We also have both a good cleaner and a gardener who attend as required and the names and numbers of both a reliable plumber and electrician who will prioritise urgent work for us if and when required.
As the Host, I deal with all the usual stuff that can be managed remotely such as bookings, availability, coordinating cleaner, gardener etc and dealing with issues. Most times there is not too much involved, other times you may have a demanding guest who expects us to be an ‘off site’ concierge and I need to be ready to respond to any request for information and this can be quite time consuming. Personally though, it would not be worth the cost to me of passing this part of the work onto somebody else.
