“How hard can it be to run 40 holiday homes ourselves?”
That question sounds reasonable after handover.
You already know the building.
You already know the owners.
You already have the demand.
But the licence is the easy part.
The real cost sits in the team, systems, pricing decisions, guest operations, maintenance, owner reporting and the fixed costs you carry through the slower months.
Building in-house can absolutely work — when the portfolio is large enough, holiday homes are a real business line, and you’re prepared to carry the learning curve.
If not, partnering first can get you to market faster without building the entire operation before the economics are proven.
Build when it makes sense. Partner when speed and flexibility matter.
