What to Expect When Investing in a Short-Term Rental

Short-term rentals can generate great returns, but they’re far from passive. Managing guest communication, cleanings between stays, and ongoing maintenance takes time and expertise—that’s where RPA and Stay Modern come in.

Here’s how the short-term rental setup process works:

  • Personalized Game Plan: Your property manager will guide you from the start, helping you evaluate the property, run revenue projections, and align your goals with market demand.

  • Design & Installation: The Stay Modern team creates a custom furnishing and setup plan that fits your budget—sourcing stylish, durable furniture with access to exclusive industry discounts.

  • Fast, Full-Service Setup: Within six weeks, your property will be fully outfitted, photographed, and listed on top booking platforms.

  • Ongoing Management: From guest inquiries to cleaning and maintenance, your team handles it all so you can enjoy the income without the hassle.

With RPA and Stay Modern, you're not just listing a property—you’re launching a professionally managed short-term rental designed to perform.
