XKP Enterprises is a full-service short-term rental management company that takes care of everything for you. From 24/7 guest support to on-the-ground assistance, we manage every detail to ensure a smooth and successful experience. We handle hiring and managing local vetted cleaners and contractors, market your property on our direct booking site, insurance temporary housing companies, Airbnb, VRBO, and Google Vacation Rentals. Our pricing strategy includes a thorough comparison analysis to ensure your home is competitively priced within your area. Additionally, for an extra fee, we can get your home 100% ready for short-term rentals, including design, furnishing, and stocking with all the essentials.

Short-Term Rentals (STR):

Short-term rentals are properties available for short stays, usually from one night to a few weeks. These fully furnished homes are equipped with essential amenities such as Wi-Fi, kitchenware, and linens, ensuring a comfortable experience for travelers. STRs are particularly favored by vacationers, business professionals, and those seeking a quick retreat, offering an alternative to traditional hotel accommodations.

Mid-Term Rentals (MTR):

Mid-term rentals are properties leased for periods ranging from one month to several months, offering a flexible alternative between short-term and long-term leases. These rentals are ideal for business professionals on extended assignments, students during breaks, or individuals relocating to a new area. While often furnished with essential amenities similar to short-term rentals, mid-term properties may offer more space for tenants to personalize their living environment.

At XKP Enterprises, we provide expert management services for both short-term and mid-term rentals, ensuring property owners can maximize their rental income while offering flexible accommodation options.

Full-service management means we handle every aspect of your property! From guest communication to coordinating cleaners, maintenance, contractors, and even handling emergency situations like 2am toilet clogs—we do it all. We also offer complete setup services to prepare your home for short-term rentals (for an additional fee).

 

Yes, your home must be furnished and stocked with essentials to be suitable for short-term rentals. This includes basic furniture like beds, sofas, and dining tables, along with items such as cookware, towels, and toiletries for a comfortable guest experience.

If your property is not yet furnished, XKP Enterprises offers a White Glove Service that handles all your furnishing needs. Our team selects and arranges high-quality furniture and amenities to create an inviting, luxurious environment for your guests. For more information about our White Glove Services, visit XKP Enterprises Glove Services.

We have a straightforward approach to billing: owners are responsible for paying all utility bills. However, if you choose our 15%-20% pricing packages, we will cover the cost of cleaners. Additionally, with the 20% pricing package, we will also cover the cost of contractors for repairs caused by guests.

Absolutely! It's your property—just let us know the dates you'd like to stay, and we'll make sure to block off the calendar for you. Enjoy your visit without any worries!

We ask owners to cover the cost of furniture, decor, and supplies, but the good news is, most of our clients see a return on their investment within 4-6 months. If you'd prefer, we can handle everything for you—choosing and assembling the furniture, and fully setting up your home—for an additional fee. For more details, click on the "White Glove Services" tab.

 

Absolutely! We'll market your property across multiple platforms, including our direct booking website, insurance temporary housing companies, Airbnb, VRBO, Google Vacation Rentals, and 20+ other websites to ensure maximum visibility and bookings

 

Correct! Airbnb charges a 3% fee per booking, while VRBO takes 8%. After these fees are deducted from the payout, we'll split the remaining gross income from the nightly rate with you.

Got it! So, after Airbnb deducts their 3% booking fee and VRBO deducts their 8%, we will share the remaining gross income from the nightly rate. If you have any more questions or need further details, feel free to ask!

 

Yes, XKP Enterprises offers property management services nationwide across the contiguous United States. With local teams across the country, we ensure efficient and personalized service, no matter where your property is located. Our nationwide presence allows us to maintain the high standard of service XKP Enterprises is known for, providing prompt responses and reliable management for your property.

We’ll process payments via ACH once the guests check out. This ensures that any potential refunds during their stay are accounted for before issuing payment. After processing, the payment will be deposited into your account within 5-7 business days.

We accept homes of various types and sizes, but they must meet certain criteria. Your home should be free of cosmetic imperfections and all appliances and amenities must be in working order. If the property is in an HOA, there must be no short-term rental restrictions. For rented properties, we require permission from the landlord to sublease and permit short-term rentals. Additionally, your home must comply with city regulations and obtain any required licenses.

Please note, XKP Enterprise's World Class packages are available only for properties in areas with a population of 30,000 or more, or within 20 minutes of a city with a population of 30,000+. Properties in smaller populations may be limited to the First Class pricing package.

Absolutely not! Your home does not need to be located near traditional tourist attractions to succeed as a short-term or mid-term rental. While proximity to popular hotspots can drive higher demand, many travelers seek alternative experiences, such as business trips, family visits, or "staycations" away from busy city centers.

At XKP Enterprises, we have a proven track record of managing properties in various locations, from bustling city centers to peaceful suburban areas. Thanks to our expertise in dynamic pricing, targeted marketing, and guest experience optimization, we're able to tailor our approach to your property's specific location, ensuring we maximize both occupancy and revenue, no matter where your property is located.

 

No, we do not require an in-person visit to qualify your home for our short-term rental management services. The qualification process can be done remotely, usually through a virtual tour or by reviewing the photos and details you provide about your property. This allows us to assess your home's suitability for short-term rentals efficiently and begin the onboarding process quickly. However, if you prefer, you can opt for an in-person property inspection for a fee of $500.

It's important to remember that just like long-term rentals, there's a market price that everyone is willing to pay. We use dynamic pricing and targeted marketing strategies to ensure that your property doesn't stay empty for long periods. Opuluxe specializes in properties located in areas with a population of 30,000 or more, or within 20 minutes of a city with a population of 30,000+. As long as your property meets these criteria, our goal is to maintain a high occupancy rate, with an average target of 70%.

Yes, XKP Enterprises is covered with $1 million in liability insurance, providing a basic level of protection for guest injuries. If you choose our "World Class" pricing package, we also offer coverage for damages caused by guests, up to $1,500.

However, this coverage does not extend to major property damage unrelated to guests, such as issues with the foundation, plumbing, appliances, HVAC, etc. For full protection against these risks, we highly recommend obtaining separate property insurance to ensure you're covered for any unexpected events. This will give you peace of mind knowing your property is fully protected.

To successfully manage our properties, XKP Enterprises holds the account for the listings. However, through our client portal, you'll have access to the following:

✔️ Real-time booking and occupancy updates
✔️ Pricing details for each booking
✔️ The name and profile picture of each guest

Additionally, we send you a monthly report with a detailed breakdown of each guest's payment and other relevant information. We aim to keep everything transparent so you can easily monitor the progress and success of your property!

We charge a $199 onboarding fee when you join us. Once your bookings begin, our pricing packages range from 10% to 20% of the nightly rate, depending on the services you choose. For packages between 15% and 20%, we cover the cleaning costs, which means we retain the cleaning fees. For a detailed breakdown of each package and its benefits, be sure to check out the Pricing section!

We do not directly assist with determining the legality of short-term rentals (STR) for your property or obtaining permits and licensing. However, if short-term rentals are not allowed in your area, we offer mid-term rentals as an alternative. These rentals typically last a month or longer and are subject to different regulations, allowing you to still earn rental income. We recommend consulting with legal professionals to ensure your property complies with local laws and regulations.
