Actually Passive, Finally Profitable
Professionally Managing Short-Term & Vacation Rentals for Maximum Returns and minimum stress
Let’s be honest for a second. Owning a vacation rental in Tampa is a dream on paper for many, but the reality often feels like a second job you didn't apply for.
Maybe you’re tired of answering "how do I use the lockbox?" texts at 11:00 PM on a Tuesday. Maybe you’re worried about what the humidity is doing to your baseboards while you’re out of town. Or maybe you just looked at your payout and wondered why all that work resulted in such a thin margin.

The "Who Actually Handles This?" Question
If you’ve been searching for Airbnb management, you’ve probably noticed every website looks the same. They all promise "gold standards" and "maximum ROI." But when the AC unit freezes up in mid-August, who actually picks up the phone?
At Emperor, it’s us. We are a local team based right here in South Tampa (on Roberts Ave), not a call center three time zones away.
We know that Airbnb cohosting isn’t just about syncing calendars. It’s about knowing that during Gasparilla season, you need stricter vetting for guests to avoid parties. It’s knowing that in Ybor City, noise complaints are the biggest risk to your account health. It’s understanding that guests from the Midwest will struggle with Florida smart thermostats.
We handle the human side of hosting so you don't have to.

Is It Worth Hiring a Manager? The Math of "Passive" Income
The most common question we get is: "Can’t I just manage it myself and save the fee?"
You absolutely can. But you have to ask yourself if you want to be a landlord or an investor.
The DIY Route: You keep 100% of the revenue. You also handle the 2 AM lockouts, the cleaning crew cancellations, the dispute resolution center, and the pricing strategy.
The Emperor Route: You pay a flat, transparent fee (usually 10-20%). In exchange, we often increase revenue by 20-30% using dynamic pricing algorithms that adjust daily based on local demand (like Bucs games, concerts at Amalie Arena, or conventions).
Most of our owners find that our fee pays for itself just by the increase in nightly rates and occupancy we achieve. You step back, your bank account steps up.
