Anderson Business Advisors Podcast
Business:Investing
In this episode, Clint Coons of Anderson Business Advisors welcomes Kim Lalande, Founder and CEO of Key.
Key is a ‘one-stop shop’ that partners with quality vacation rental homes (usually 3+ bedrooms and a certain aesthetic) to take all of the “concierge” burden off of the host or homeowner’s plate and provides one place to book all the in-home services to enhance each guest’s stay. Before launching KEY.co in 2015, Kim was the Director of Business Development for DLA Piper, a law firm representing many leading technology companies.
I talk with Kim about some of the reasons that investors who own or are looking for short-term rental properties should use this type of service. From my own experience with a rental in Hawaii that I sold because I hated doing all the work with guests, it is obvious what a relief this service would be to any short-term property owner. Kim says that naturally most of the “vacation destinations” with beaches like Hawaii, Florida, Nantucket, and The Hamptons are perfect spots to invest, but there are also some up-and-coming areas such as Austin, Nashville and Charlotte that are hotspots for short-term rentals. You’ll get better reviews and more bookings when you offer a concierge service such as Key, and there are a number of tax benefits as well.
