When renting out your rental property, perhaps the biggest decision you have to make is how much you are going to charge. If you are new to the process, it can seem like a daunting task to figure out exactly how much you should ask for.
The first thing you should understand is that you as the owner are able to change the asking price whenever you want. If your property becomes sought after, you can raise the price to take advantage. If you are having difficulties finding quality renters, you can lower your asking price.
To begin the process of determining a fair rental price for your property, you should look at other vacation homes for rent in the same area. That'll give you a good idea of what to ask for.
When you start off, you should probably err to asking for too much. You can always lower the price later. If you ask for too little right off the bat, you may get swamped with renters who are realize that you undercharged.
Once you get the hang of it, rent by owner vacation rentals are actually fun to manage. It requires a bit of hands-on work, but the work is easy to learn and doesn't take much time.
