What to Expect if you’re an owner on the Palisades Tahoe Hospitality Vacation Rental Program (general consideration – check with the rental company directly to confirm any and all information):

Owners can expect to pay for a professional property management fee, which will include an actual breakdown for cleaning, maintenance expenses for the unit, management, marketing etc… The net to the owner after rental expenses may vary and does not include the HOA fees, property taxes, or income taxes.
Gross Rental Income: Potential Rental Income will be impacted by how much an owner uses the unit, especially during peak demand times.
- Expect seasonality in demand and use by vacation renters. Consider the rental averages for the unit size you are considering as actual results will vary and past results are not a guarantee of future revenue. Want more information on what to consider if you are thinking about doing short-term rentals, click here.
Owners on the rental program will have to pay a cleaning fee after each time they use their own units. The actual cleaning fee will vary depending on the size of the unit and how much work is needed to clean it – additional expense.
Owners will have to pay for a phone land-line and Internet in the room – additional expense. Owners are periodically charged for new linens, and will need to keep the unit in top condition for vacation rentals (fund a refurbish and replacement account).
