Houston Short-Term Rental Management

We operate it like we own it.

RebornHost is a full-service hospitality operating company for Houston property owners. We monitor performance month to month and adjust strategy when the market shifts — because your profitability is the only metric that matters.

We're selective. If you're committed to your property and willing to trust a proven system, we'll grow it with you.

90-Day Performance Guarantee

If we don't outperform in 90 days, your first month is on us.

We come from a rental-arbitrage background — we know how to make a listing perform under pressure. If we don't beat what your property was producing within 90 days, we waive your first month's management fee. It's the kind of promise only an operator confident in its systems can make.

STR vs. Long-Term Rent

Most months match a strong long-term lease. Events are where you win.

Short-term performance is seasonal. Most months land near what a good long-term rental pays — the difference is made during high-demand windows like Rodeo, summer, and the holidays. Here's a real 3-bedroom townhome across a year.

Who We Work With

Built for four kinds of Houston owner.

New to short-term rentals

You own a great Houston property and want to turn it into a high-performing STR without learning the operations yourself. We handle zero-to-launch end to end.

Burned out self-managing

You've been running it yourself and you're tired of the 2 a.m. messages, the cleaner no-shows, and the guesswork. We take the operation off your plate — and usually lift the revenue.

Real estate investors

One door or a portfolio. We think in cash flow, cost segregation, and depreciation — and we manage to protect and grow the asset, not just fill the calendar.

Multi-unit & bundled owners

4-plex to 8-plex and beyond. We run every unit under one coordinated operation — the same way we track a 52-room hotel in Bolivia from Houston.

Why RebornHost

Not a property manager. A hospitality operating company.

We started with 66 arbitrage properties on fixed rents — no room for error, no season to coast through. That pressure built the systems we now run on your behalf. We've handled 100-person party invasions, the Houston Freeze, unauthorized pet stays, theft, vandalism, and heavy pest infestations — and stayed calm through all of it.

Monthly inspections

Documented walk-throughs and a deep maintenance check every month — we catch problems before guests do.

60-point turnover checklist

Every single turnover runs through the same 60-point standard. Nothing gets skipped.

Damage claims expertise

Full documentation, photos, and resolution management. We've recovered up to $23K on a single claim.

Deep cleans & restocking

Deep cleanings after long stays and on a monthly cadence — coordinated with a vetted local crew that works every day of the year.

AI-assisted guest comms

ProHost AI plus 24/7 human support agents for fast, on-brand responses around the clock.

In-house photography

We shoot your property, write the listing copy and disclosures, and build the experience-driven story that converts lookers into bookings.

Accounting & owner reporting

Clean monthly statements. You always know your gross, your costs, and your net.

Asset protection

Rental agreements, guest screening, smart-lock automation, walkthrough check-in videos, and Waivecover third-party insurance for stays beyond Airbnb.

Permits & HOA

STR permit assistance, permit applications, and HOA-rule review so you launch compliant.

Guest Ratings

Active managed listings perform at 4.8★ and above.

We manage to a 4.7+ standard across platforms and run an active monthly strategy to defend it. Our best active listings carry 4.8–4.9★ across 30+ reviews. (Our older company-wide average reflects arbitrage listings we no longer operate — the listings we manage today are what matter.)

When Things Go Wrong

A water-damage claim, handled like it was our own home.

A guest unknowingly clogged a shower and kept running it. Lifted caulking let water reach the living room, dining room, and master bedroom. Here's exactly how our team responded.

Katy — 3 bed / 2.5 bath single-family home
Up to $23K
Recovered on our largest claim to date
  1. Within 2 hours

    Handyman dispatched to clear the clog and stop the source.

  2. Same day

    Cleaning crew on site to dry the property and restock towels.

  3. Next

    Inspector documented every damaged surface with photos — flooring, walls, carpet, and each piece of furniture checked for replacement.

  4. Remediation

    Mold remediation and wood-exposure assessed; dehumidifiers and fans deployed to protect the structure.

  5. Resolution

    Filed and managed the damage claim end to end — the owner's property left intact or better than before.

Revenue Management

Data-driven pricing, customized to your listing.

We don't set a price and forget it. We read PriceLabs and Airbnb performance data weekly, benchmark your listing against the market monthly, and tune the strategy to your property — tracking wishlists, views, click-through, and conversion to find every dollar.

Your Property, Your Pace

Be as hands-off — or as hands-on — as you want.

Some owners want a single payout and a report each month. Others meet with us monthly to refine strategy. Our main operators are reachable any time, any day — and if you don't pick up, we call back.

01

Hands-off

One monthly payout and a clean listing report. We handle everything else.

02

Collaborative

A monthly sit-down to review performance and share what we're seeing in the market.

03

Strategic

Weekly inputs and open lines while we find the communication rhythm that fits you.

Management Plans

Transparent rates, reviewed every month.

We charge a percentage of gross — reviewed monthly so it tracks real performance. On strong months we sit toward the higher end; on slower months, the lower. If a property isn't hitting its goals, we adjust to where it makes sense for both sides. Month-to-month, always.

Who We Say Yes To

We screen for owner mindset, not property condition.

A property with issues is fine — if you're willing to fix root causes with us. A beautiful home owned by someone who wants to cut every corner and skip the systems we rely on for backups, documentation, and claims? That's the real red flag.

Already high-performing

Well-positioned, strong-grossing property? We won't require much — we'll make a good thing better.

Needs work — that's okay

Got issues? No problem, as long as you're willing to address root causes so the listing can perform.

What we actually screen for

Owner commitment and trust in the process. Our reputation is built on results — we protect it by being honest about what it takes to produce them.

Beyond Management

One operator for everything the property needs.

A partner with contractor experience means we handle small jobs and big ones — from a leaky faucet to a new concrete pad, fireplace, or roof. We won't nickel-and-dime you; sometimes we just handle what needs handling.

Proven at Scale

From a Heights townhome to a 52-room hotel.

Our systems scale. We run single-family homes and a $900K Montrose luxury townhome in Houston, multi-unit buildings from 4-plexes to 8-plexes (and once a 14-plex), and we track everything — cleanings, maintenance, claims, guests — for a 52-room hotel in Bolivia, from Houston.

Referral Program

Refer an owner, earn $500.

Landlords, realtors, investors, even virtual assistants — refer an owner who stays with us, and we pay you $500 at the end of their second month. We currently onboard up to five properties every two months to protect quality, so good referrals move up the list.

$500

Coming SoonWhat's Next

An investment arm, opening to our owner network.

Once we reach 100 managed properties, we open our boutique investment projects — commercial and multi-unit rehabs turned into boutique hotels and optimized short-term living, operated then sold or refinanced on a 2–3 year horizon. We're also exploring the glamping space. These opportunities open first to the landlords who grew with us.

Questions, Answered

What owners ask before they sign.

How does onboarding work?+

It starts with a free property report and a meeting with your local ambassador. From there we run the launch package — inspection, deep clean, photography, listing build, revenue strategy, and smart-lock automation. Turnkey listings can go live in under a week; zero-to-launch typically takes 2–4 weeks, and most owners see results by month 2–3 as the listing warms up.

What properties do you manage?+

Single-family homes, townhomes, apartments, and multi-unit buildings from 4-plexes to 8-plexes across Houston — plus a $900K luxury townhome and a 52-room hotel we track remotely in Bolivia. We're selective: we look for owners committed to their property and willing to follow our systems.

How do owners get paid?+

Two ways. Either all revenue flows to our account and you receive one monthly payout with a full report, or payments route to your own account and we bill you weekly — popular with multi-unit owners. Either way, you always see your gross, your costs, and your net.

Can I use my property myself?+

Yes — it's your property. You can block dates for personal use anytime; we just ask for reasonable notice so we can manage the calendar and guest bookings around it.

What's included in management?+

Multi-platform distribution across 10+ OTAs, 24/7 AI-assisted guest communication, cleaning and turnover coordination on a 60-point checklist, maintenance and monthly inspections, dynamic revenue management, damage-claims handling, owner reporting, and full asset protection — rental agreements, guest screening, smart locks, and third-party insurance.
