What usually goes wrong with a second home
Owners we speak to keep running into the same six problems.
Nagging repairs
Plumbing and electrical issues that nobody fixes quickly.
Depreciation
Empty homes age faster. Moisture, pests and neglect quietly cut their value.
Unclear payments
Unprofessional managers pay late, or pay inconsistent amounts.
Costly visits
Extra cleaning and maintenance charges every time you visit your own vacation home.
No updates
No real-time, honest picture of what is happening at the property.
Cracks & seepage
Hidden damage that grows for months because nobody catches it in time.
Real numbers from our own homes
Monthly averages from homes we run today, after every expense. Your share is 70% of what's left after cleaning, utilities, society charges, repairs and Airbnb fees. Your walkthrough comes with a written estimate for your exact home.

Before you decide
Does my home need to be furnished?
No. We take on empty homes too, and give you a furnishing plan with costs before you spend anything.
What if a guest damages something?
We fix it first and claim it from the guest's security deposit or Airbnb's AirCover for Hosts. You see the photos and the claim.
Will my society allow it?
We check your society's rules at the walkthrough, and handle guest registrations, gate entries and neighbour questions.
Who pays the taxes?
The income is yours, so tax on your share is filed in your name. Your monthly statements and the shared expense sheet give your CA everything they need.
What if I want my home back?
After the first year, either side can end it with 30 days' notice. We hand back the home with a full reconciliation of income, expenses and inventory.
I don't live in the same city. Is that a problem?
No. You never need to visit to run the home. We handle everything on the ground and keep you updated on WhatsApp.
