Grow alongside operators who have already built what you are building, without giving up any part of your company to do it.
Your membership includes:
Inside HostGenius, you're in the room with operators running 10 to 400+ listings across city, ski, and beach markets. You'll see what they're testing this month, what's actually working, and what they'd never do again.
Independent owners who still run their own companies, and who help each other get further than they would alone.
Watch it in their words.
“In this industry, I was just unsure of how to proceed. And talking with guys like you and some of the other market partners really unlocked that for me.”
“Some of the people that you've had come and speak talked about expanding on Meta ads. That's something I would have probably never considered. And now it's the biggest driver of new business in my company.”
“I joined for the community and I've stayed for the support: tech support, systems support, business support.”
Also, hear the exact strategies from members who've made it.
They're in the members channel and on the calls. You get to ask follow-up questions.

And how much faster would you move if you could ask them directly?

WHY OPERATORS ACTUALLY JOIN
Most operators at your size are running the company with one or two people, or nobody at all. Every decision, pricing, hiring, a difficult owner, a guest threatening a chargeback, lands on you, and there is nobody around who has made that exact call before.
So most people learn the industry one expensive mistake at a time. Think about what you would tell yourself on day one if you could go back. Now imagine a hundred of those perspectives, including operators years ahead of where you are, available the moment you need them.
There is no better room in this industry to work through the decisions that actually determine where your company ends up.
Book a callThe short version: it's founders only, it's not a franchise, and there's nothing to buy on this page.
Founders of vacation rental management companies with 10+ listings. The founder joins, not an employee. The average member runs 32 listings, and members range from 10 to 400+.
No. We never co-brand, rebrand, or absorb you. Your name on the door, your phone number, your owners. No revenue share, ever. Membership is flat.
No curriculum, nobody on stage. It's a working network: a members channel where operators answer from experience, a Core Group of 8 matched to your stage, a VP of Operations and a VP of Homeowner Growth working in your numbers, and playbooks the whole network implements and measures.
The members channel works on your schedule. The Core Group meets monthly. Most members save more hours than they spend. That's the point.
There's no pricing page and nothing to buy here. Book a call. If it's a fit, we'll talk specifics there. Group rates on the software and services you already pay for offset part of the cost, and we'll walk through your own numbers on the call.
you have 2 options:
THE SOLO PATH
"I'm figuring this out alone"
Wrong hires cost months. The wrong stack compounds inefficiency. Untracked owner acquisition slows growth. None of it announces itself. It just accumulates.
THE NETWORK PATH
"I'm moving with proof"
HostGenius gives you the data, the people, and the leverage to pressure-test your next move, so you make faster, safer, effective decisions.
You don't need to figure out every critical decision alone. The network gets you the right answer, from the right operator, in time to use it.
Ask how other operators handled the problem and decide what makes sense for your business.
What is your "figure it out alone" strategy actually costing you?
HostGenius can save you time, money, opportunities, and avoidable mistakes.

WHAT IS
HostGenius is a private, vetted network of independent vacation rental operators building scalable companies together while staying boutique. Members get a vetted peer network of a hundred founders, network-tested playbooks, a VP of Operations and a VP of Homeowner Growth working in their numbers, and collective buying power on the software and services they already pay for. We never co-brand, rebrand, or absorb you, and there is no revenue share and no lock-in, so the company you build stays entirely yours. Membership is by application and the network is kept deliberately small.
WHO IS
Founder · HostGenius · 160-listing operator across 3 markets
Charles built a 160-listing management company across city, ski, and beach markets. Eight years in, he nearly lost it in COVID, then rebuilt it, with a short list of the problems that almost killed it: homeowner acquisition, ops at scale, and economies of scale.
He built HostGenius so independent operators could learn from each other while continuing to own and run their companies.
