Problem #1

I don't know how to start. I'm not sure which options are available to activate in the Short Term Rental Space. I don't know which one is more profitable or more suitable for my personal profile.

Solution #1

Indeed, it's extremely frustrating when you want to start a new business and there is no location where you can obtain all the info that you need in order to make an informed decision. Or is there? Sign up for the Happy Homes Subscription and you'll have access to the only platform that provides all this information and more.

Problem #4

I don't know where to find suppliers for the products and services I need. Moreover, sometimes I don't even know what products and services I need.

Solution #4

There are multiple products and services required such as: cleaning and washing, consumables, accounting, web design, professional photos, interior design, furniture, repairs, etc. Subscribe now and find a comprehensive list of supplier suggestions to help you understand not only what you need but also where to get it from.

Problem #2

I don't know what steps I have to follow to function legally. There is no complete and coherent information. There are too many groups and each participant gives their opinion, not quite right every time.

Solution #2

We know, the legislation is confusing and messy. But look no further. This is exactly why we designed the Happy Homes subscription service. Subscribe today and get access to a range of courses that not only cover the full legal steps but also describe in details as well as provide actual examples and templates for you to be able to personally handle all paperwork.

Problem #3

I don't know where can I successfully rent my location/s and I would like to find out if there are any tips and tricks.

Solution #3

Might seem easy but, just like everything else, it's not. But don't sweat it, Happy Homes has you covered! Join our subscriber list and find out what are the best combinations of OTAs (Online Travel Agencies like Booking.com, Airbnb, etc), how to handle their sync and other cool tips and tricks.

Other Problems

Our goal is to continuously grow our list of services. Therefore, there might be additional problems that we haven't captured yet. This might happen because there was a recent change that we didn't manage to publish yet or perhaps we didn't even think about it.

Problem #5

I'm not sure how to stay safe and obtain insurance against the damages caused by guests/tenants. Is there any product or coverage available?

Solution #5

We all care about our properties right? Some more than others but, even so, any damage means at least a hit in our bottom line. So even if we're not overly protective of our spaces, there is still risk of financial loss. Subscribe and find out what options currently exist in Romania. Stay safe and keep your properties safe as well!

Problem #6

I'm wondering which payment methods can I offer to my guests.

Solution #6

While we all want to offer as much flexibility to our guests, we also need to plan very well all aspects of our business. Sign up for our subscription and learn which payment methods are acceptable if you are operating as a natural person or as a company. Design your payment options to best fit your business structure.

Problem #7

I'm not sure if I should issue invoices for my guests and, if so, in which format. What is the correct amount and method to issue the invoices if they booked via a third party like Booking/Airbnb?

Solution #7

Even if you're renting out your properties directly or via third party solutions, your guests might ask for an invoice directed towards themselves as a natural person or to their company. If you want to be sure you're processing this correctly, subscribe now and obtain all the required info plus handy download templates.

Problem #8

I'm not sure how will my apartment be rated by the authorities nor how to prepare for the rating I want. I am not even sure what rating I want and why.

Solution #8

There are multiple considerations to consider when deciding what rating you wish to achieve. In many cases, you might discover less stars are actually better. Subscribe today and find out why. Start the process the right way so you don't have to re-do it multiple times.

Problem #9

I don't know who to contact if I need advise or consultancy services. I hear even accountants give wrong answers in this domain and if I ask around other owners, I get different answers. How can I be sure which is the right one?

Solution #9
