Our Managed Properties
One Coordinated Team. One Project Plan. From Empty Unit to Earning Guest.
Most Penang Airbnb managers only handle listings and cleaning. When your unit needs paint, new furniture, or a toilet fix, you're back to chasing three different contractors, comparing quotes, and coordinating schedules. We built our group of companies so you never have to.
Renovation
MyReno handles rental-ready renovation and property upgrades.
Furnishing & Styling
MyReno's furnishing and setup team prepares each unit for guests and the camera.
Airbnb Management
The Homestay Helper — our short-stay management team — runs listings, pricing, guest communication and cleaning coordination, with automated guest guidance available around the clock.
The Result? One Coordinated Team, One Project Timeline.
Instead of paying a renovator, a furniture supplier, and a management company separately — you deal with one coordinated team, one project timeline, and one central point of contact.
Professionally prepared properties generally photograph better and are better positioned to attract bookings. Actual occupancy depends on property type, location, pricing, seasonality and market demand.
Our Revenue Sharing Model
A transparent, performance-based partnership that aligns our success with yours
No Fixed Monthly Management Fee
The Homestay Helper receives its management share only after direct property operating expenses have been deducted. No distributable revenue means no management revenue share, although property-level operating expenses may still apply.
Revenue Sharing
After direct operating expenses, the net distributable revenue is split 70% to you and 30% to The Homestay Helper.
Full Transparency
Monthly reports showing all bookings, expenses, and your net profit.
Aligned Incentives
Our management share depends on your property's performance, so we're invested in maximising results.
Your Monthly Profit in 4 Simple Steps
See exactly how your earnings are calculated
Step 1: Gross Revenue
Average Room Rate = RM250
Occupancy = 24 nights
👉 Gross Revenue = RM250 × 24 = RM6,000
Step 2: Less Direct Operating Expenses
RM6,000 − RM900 (direct OpEx) = RM5,100 net distributable revenue
Step 3: Split the Net Distributable Revenue (70 / 30)
RM5,100 × 70% = RM3,570 to owner · RM5,100 × 30% = RM1,530 to The Homestay Helper
Step 4: Owner's Monthly Payout
RM3,570 / month deposited to the owner

*Illustration only, based on RM250/night × 24 nights and RM900 in direct operating expenses. Actual revenue, expenses, occupancy, nightly rates and owner payouts vary according to the property, location, season, booking performance and operating requirements. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
No distributable revenue means no management revenue share. Property-level operating expenses such as utilities, internet, maintenance or recurring property costs may still apply during low- or zero-revenue months.
Renovation, furnishing, photography, repairs, replacements and property setup are assessed and quoted separately according to the property's requirements.
