A weekly rate is a statement about cost, not a reward for loyalty. Build it from the turns a longer stay saves, minus what the extra nights consume, then test it against a seven-night stay that leaves on a Sunday. When the saving runs out, the discount should too.
Start from the amount a unit has to bank, add back what the channel deducts, and the listed price stops being a guess. The order of the additions is where most hosts go wrong, because each charge applies to its own base rather than to the running total.
A management contract is priced in percentages and paid in decisions. Before you sign, ten questions establish who holds the calendar, who sets and changes the rate, who owns the guest record, and what comes back when you leave.
A page of your own doesn't compete with the four channels. It catches the guests who already know you, and it's the only place where the terms of a stay are entirely yours. What it should carry, and what to measure instead of conversion.
An assistant is only useful to a host when it answers questions about the actual week: who arrives today, how full next week looks, which channel moved its rate. That means reading your own records, on demand, with any change to them waiting for your confirmation.
The Greek short-stay registry ties its number to a property rather than to a host or a portfolio. That one design choice explains most of the duplicate and missing-number cases hosts run into when they scale past a single apartment.
Polish short-term rental rules, as published, ask for two things hosts treat as decoration: house rules stated on the listing and a named contact a neighbour can actually reach. Both are cheap to write and expensive to improvise at eleven at night.
Tax usually attaches to the accommodation, not to the commission. Where a platform charges tax on its own service fee, that line sits on top of the commission, varies by jurisdiction, and almost never appears in the rate you set.
Automated pricing reads pace, availability and comparable rates. It can't read the wedding down the road or the room you've taken out of service. The overrides worth keeping are tied to a reason you can name, with an end date set at the same moment.
The gap between a flexible rate and a non-refundable one is the price of an option, not a discount. It holds only if it's wider than the cancellations you actually absorb. How to count your own share, size the gap, and know when to withdraw the lower rate.
