You lead the mission.
We’ll handle the real estate.

Every owner receives a monthly report covering gross revenue, occupancy rate, average nightly rate, management fee, any pass-through costs, and net owner income. We benchmark your property against market comparables so you understand not just what happened but whether your property is performing where it should be. If something underperformed, we'll tell you why and what we're doing about it — not just report the number.

A few things. First, we actually like hosting — not just managing. That distinction shows up in how we train our team, how we respond to guests, and how we approach the guest experience. Second, we're transparent by default: clear reporting, no hidden fees, honest conversations about what your property can realistically earn. Third, for owners who care about it, we're mission-driven — we reserve a portion of our portfolio's nights each year for missionaries, pastors, and nonprofit workers, funded by the revenue the properties generate. If that matters to you, you're not going to find it elsewhere.

We document the property before every guest arrival with photos through our operations system. If damage occurs, we have clear evidence to support a claim and we initiate the resolution process on your behalf — typically through Airbnb's AirCover or VRBO's equivalent protection program. We handle the claim, communicate with the guest as needed, and coordinate any necessary repairs through our vendor network. You'll be informed throughout the process without being pulled into the mechanics of it.

Yes. You can block dates for personal use at any time — we just ask for reasonable advance notice so we can manage the calendar around your dates without disrupting existing bookings. Many of our owners use their properties regularly; we build the owner-use process into our operations from the start so it's seamless rather than an exception.

Every turnover is a scheduled event — not a reaction. When a booking is confirmed, a turnover task is automatically created and assigned to a cleaner with a room-by-room checklist and a required photo submission before the task is marked complete. We maintain a backup cleaner network for every property so that a last-minute cancellation doesn't become a guest experience problem. We haven't had a cleanliness-related 1-star review across our portfolio in over a year.

We handle all guest communication from the moment an inquiry comes in through post-checkout follow-up. This includes pre-booking questions, check-in instructions, in-stay support, and any issues that arise during a guest's stay. Response times are measured in minutes, not hours — and that matters significantly for Airbnb's search algorithm and your guest review scores. You will not be contacted for routine guest questions.

We document every property before and after each stay with photo records through our operations system. When damage occurs, we have clear before/after evidence that supports a claim through Airbnb's resolution center or VRBO's equivalent. We handle the claim process on your behalf and keep you informed of the outcome. Our goal is to resolve damage claims without pulling you into a process you shouldn't have to manage.

Owner disbursements are made monthly. You'll receive a clear report showing your gross revenue for the period, our management fee, any cleaning pass-throughs, maintenance costs incurred, and your net owner income. We want you to understand exactly where every dollar went — not just receive a deposit with no context.

Cleaning fees are passed through to guests and are not absorbed into our management fee — guests pay cleaning at booking, and those funds flow directly to the cleaning operation. Maintenance and repair costs are billed at actual cost when they occur. Consumables (toiletries, coffee, paper goods) are either owner-supplied or billed at cost. There are no surprise fees — every cost is documented in your monthly owner report.

Our full-service management fee is competitive with the Texas market and varies based on the property, location, and scope of services. We're transparent about our fee structure from the first conversation — no vague percentages that change at signing. We'll walk you through exactly what you'll pay, what's included, and what a realistic monthly net income looks like for your property before you commit to anything.

Not necessarily. We'll do an honest assessment during our consultation and tell you what — if anything — would meaningfully improve performance before launch. Sometimes that's a few hundred dollars in small touches (better lighting, updated linens, a fire pit). Sometimes it's a larger investment like a hot tub that the data supports. We'll never recommend a renovation for its own sake — only when the revenue math justifies it.

Most properties onboard within two to three weeks of signing. The timeline depends on whether professional photography is needed, how much the listing needs to be rebuilt or optimized, and how quickly we can get the cleaning and operations system set up. We don't rush onboarding — a property that launches well performs better than one that launches fast.

Our primary markets are Austin, the Texas Hill Country (including Wimberley, Dripping Springs, Driftwood, and Fredericksburg), and Houston. If your property is in a Texas market not listed here, reach out — we evaluate new markets on a case-by-case basis depending on demand fundamentals and our operational capacity to serve the area well.

We manage a range of short-term rental property types across Texas — from single-bedroom urban condos to multi-bedroom Hill Country cabins. Our sweet spot is mid-luxury properties with strong revenue potential: properties that guests choose because of the experience, not just the price. We evaluate each property individually to determine whether it's a good operational fit and what realistic revenue expectations look like for your market.

The first step is a free consultation call — no pressure, just an honest conversation about your property, your goals, and whether we're the right fit. From there, if we decide to move forward, onboarding typically takes two to three weeks and covers listing setup or optimization, photography coordination, dynamic pricing activation, cleaning system setup, and owner reporting configuration. You'll have a clear picture of how everything works before we take over any guest communication.

For a successful rental arbitrage partnership with Oikos Property Ventures, key considerations include securing explicit landlord permission, understanding local short-term rental regulations, having a clear understanding of the target market, and ensuring the property is suitable for short-term stays. We'll work with you to evaluate these factors.

Yes, Oikos Property Ventures absolutely offers services for rental arbitrage models.

We believe in managing your property with integrity, transparency, and excellence, treating it as a valuable resource entrusted to us.

Many of our clients wonder if their property will even perform as an airBNB. We always work with our clients to help them understand the income potential and viability of their home becoming a short term rental. We will never advise clients to make decisions without information and work hard to equip them with all the relevant info on our introductory calls.

Oikos Property Ventures co-hosts a wide range of properties, including apartments, single-family homes, vacation rentals, and more. We're equipped to host diverse property types to meet various market demands and homeowner needs.

While both involve property oversight, Oikos Property Ventures offers a more hands-on, partnership-driven approach specifically tailored for short-term rentals. We focus intensely on maximizing booking revenue through dynamic pricing and expert listing optimization. Crucially, we also bring a mission-driven purpose, supporting pastors and missionaries, which sets us apart from conventional property management firms. Property management and cohosting are legally distinct, and in most cases, our owners are receiving all the revenue from the property and we invoice for our services each month.

It benefits you by maximizing your rental income and occupancy, freeing up your time, earning you income and ensuring your property is professionally cared for, all while contributing to a greater mission.
