Become a confident property manager.

A training programme for starting a short-term rental management business, beginners included. The free guides stand on their own; the academy is the structured version, with every level in order, templates, a community and weekly live calls.

What’s included

Here’s what you get inside

Four parts that work together: the course, the documents you use with real owners, the people doing the same work, and a weekly call.

  • The 15-level video course

    Every part of the business, step by step. 12 levels and 51 lessons are live, the rest are on the way.

  • Contracts, scripts and templates

    The management agreement, owner proposal, outreach scripts and pricing sheet. Ready to adjust to your market.

  • The private HostPro community

    Members in 11 European countries, sorted by market. See what people in your own city charge.

  • Weekly live calls with Lander

    Bring the owner conversation you’re stuck on. Every call is recorded inside the platform.

What you build

Earn the next level.

This is not a hobby or an experiment. It’s a business, even when you start it next to a job. The programme is not theory. It’s a practical, step-by-step plan you apply as you go.

The owner keeps the property. You keep a percentage.

You take over what the owner has no time for: the pricing, the listing, the guests and the turnovers. Your fee is a share of what the unit brings in, month after month. You buy nothing, and an empty night is not your loss.

What the programme teaches you to build:

  • How to register and set up the business
  • How management fees are set and invoiced
  • The skills owners look for in a manager
  • How to grow past the first units

Individual results, not a promise. What you earn depends on your market and your effort.

  • “I study real estate and wanted an income I could earn from anywhere. What surprised me was how fast it went: within a few weeks I had my first three properties. The personal guidance at every step is what makes HostPro different.”

    Keano L.HostPro Academy member
  • “I wanted to do something in real estate without starting a real estate degree. It’s not just coaching: you’re actively followed up, and my coach even came along to my first client meeting, which gave me extra confidence.”

    Athina V.HostPro Academy member

Become a pro host

Start your journey

Four steps, from the free training to a straight answer on whether the academy fits you.

  1. Watch, then answer four short questions.

    The free training runs 7:40. Four taps on your situation, your time, what’s stopping you and what you can invest. You see right away whether a call makes sense.

  2. Book your free call.

    Thirty minutes, on video, with someone from the team who manages properties themselves. No payment details required.

  3. Prepare three things.

    The city you’d actually operate in. Your two numbers: hours a week, and capital for setup, tools and insurance. And thirty quiet minutes somewhere you can talk.

  4. Get a straight answer.

    Enrolment is only offered after the call, and only if it fits. If this isn’t the right moment, that’s not a no forever.

Start with the free training

Free to watch. No payment details.

The fine print

What this is, and what it isn’t

Two things worth knowing before you decide. The full conditions are in the terms.

  • Refunds

    Refund and withdrawal conditions are set out in the terms you agree to when you enrol.

  • Not a franchise

    HostPro Academy is an educational programme and community. It is not a franchise, a job, an agency agreement, an investment product, or a guarantee of income. We don’t manage property for you, and we don’t introduce you to owners. You sign your own, and the programme shows you how.
