When I worked full time as another profession, I yearned for a good cohost when i worked 60 hours a week.
However, I soon found no cohost could do what I do.
I searched across the board.
1) I used Individual cohosts, who managed messaging and cleaning. Soon I found them not knowledgeable enough. Cohost usually isn’t very educated and soon becomes discriminatory against some guests. Airbnb had 0 tolerance to discrimination and soon, that effort risked my account.
2) I evaluated the cohost companies like push, vasaca and etcs. They offer great listing photos, and nice template for listing description. However, the problem with these companies is they don’t screen guests at all.
They invite dangerous and risky guests and receive any and all bookings. One of my friends had to evict guests from vasaca twice a year…so their revenues were wiped out entirely and were not enough to cover legal costs. This could be an extreme bad example.
3) cohost within my families . No comment. I don’t have any family who is capable of doing cohosting.
so, i end up hosting and found hosting is quite rewarding. I think biggest problem with either kind of cohosting model is, there’s no screening of guests. landlords’ risk of losing is very big.
party animals, underage drug users, prostitution, felony pending charge guys are all accepted by those cohosts. Anyways, I am still open to cohost services, as long as it makes sense.
No offense, i think some of the cohosts do way better than me in the photos, descriptions and so on.
