Two Property Management Models

Some owners want upside. Others want stability. Manila Stay offers both.

Model 1

Airbnb Co-Hosting

Best for owners who want to maximize income with direct Airbnb visibility.

  • Owner keeps the Airbnb listing
  • Airbnb automatically splits payouts
  • 75% owner / 25% Manila Stay
  • Full transparency inside Airbnb
  • Owner funds setup and property preparation

This co-hosting model is ideal for owners who want performance upside while keeping visibility on bookings and revenue.

Model 2

Guaranteed Rent

Best for owners who want fixed monthly income with zero operational involvement.

  • Owner receives fixed monthly rent
  • Manila Stay operates the property directly
  • Setup costs covered by Manila Stay
  • Property preparation covered by Manila Stay
  • Operational risk assumed by Manila Stay

This model is ideal for owners who prefer stable income instead of variable short-term rental performance.

Which Model Fits You?

Both models work. The right one depends on your priorities — income upside, risk tolerance, and how much predictability you want.

Decision factor Airbnb Co-Hosting Guaranteed Rent
Monthly income predictability Variable — follows market demand Same amount every month
Income ceiling Higher — you keep most of the upside Capped at the agreed monthly rent
Income floor (low season) Drops with occupancy Protected — paid regardless of bookings
Who carries the risk Shared with Manila Stay Manila Stay assumes it fully
Setup investment from owner Owner funds setup & preparation Manila Stay covers everything
Listing visibility Owner keeps the Airbnb account Operated under Manila Stay listings
Best fit if you say… "I want to maximize what my condo can earn." "I want a stable monthly check, no surprises."

Potential Short-Term Rental Income in Manila

A well-managed short-term rental can outperform a traditional long-term lease, especially in strong demand areas like Makati and near NAIA Airport.

Property Typical Long-Term Rent Potential STR Revenue
Makati Studio ₱25,000 ₱50,000 – ₱75,000
1BR Makati ₱35,000 ₱70,000 – ₱120,000
3BR near NAIA ₱45,000 ₱90,000 – ₱160,000

Past performance does not guarantee future results. These ranges are illustrative based on observed market data and assume optimal setup, occupancy, and demand. Manila Stay does not guarantee any specific revenue. Actual performance depends on building rules, location, setup quality, seasonality, and demand.
