08 / Your operation after handoverCalgary example · CAD
Lower ongoing fees.More room in the numbers.
An example from an existing Calgary arrangement shows why the fee base and local operating structure matter.
The comparison starts here
- Illustrative annual gross revenue
- ~$200,000
- Payout after Airbnb fees
- ~$165,000
- Cleaning costs
- ~$25,000
- Remaining management fee base
- $140,000
Rounded illustrative figures. The payout assumption is not an exact calculation of a stated platform fee rate.
Management at 25% of $140,000$35,000 / year
Existing local team arrangement$12,000 / year
Difference on management alone$23,000 / year
Your property receives its own quote. This is an illustration, not a promised rate or savings forecast. Scope, market, revenue, cleaning costs and the fee base can differ. Property expenses, financing, setup costs and the Ross Stays service fee are separate.
What would that mean over five years?
If the same annual difference continued unchanged, $23,000 × 5 would be $115,000 before the Ross Stays service fee and any other differences in cost. Deduct your quoted service fee and relevant additional costs when comparing the net benefit. Future revenue, costs and operator terms may change.

Prefer a manager? Here is how we help.
We look for an operator we have personally trained who runs a credible local business, where available. Alternatively, we vet a reputable management company in your area.
We use our reputation, relationships and volume of business to negotiate your rate. Availability and savings vary; ongoing management and any placement fees are agreed separately.
We help you make informed decisions and establish the operation. Property income varies, and ownership costs and financial responsibilities remain with you.

10 / Straight answersMake an informed decision
A clear offer.A clear next step.
What happens before I commit?
Answer four quick questions, then enter your first name and email. You will go straight to the Portfolio page to compare pricing and book a free game-plan call. The enquiry and call are free, with no card or deposit required. Paid work begins only after we agree the scope, service fee and payment milestones in writing and you sign the services agreement. Financing pre-approval is completed first where required.
Who runs the property after launch?
Launch packages include 30 days of management at no additional management fee. After that, daily operation passes to you or your chosen local operator, with Ross Stays team support continuing through day 90 from launch, including the first 30 days. Ongoing management is a separate direct agreement with the operator. Ross Stays does not continue as your property manager.
What support is available in Calgary?
We have trained a local team that handles guest communication, cleaning, minor maintenance and hot tub servicing in-house. We confirm availability, included work and pricing for your property. Depending on scope, advantages may include lower management costs and operating services at true cost. Your written agreement confirms the terms.
What if my property is in another city?
Start with the Universal brochure and tell us your target market. We assess the property, local requirements, numbers and operator availability before recommending a scope. Once the opportunity is clear, we can prepare a market-specific overview for the next stage.
Which package includes the managed launch?
Full Turnkey and Acquire & Launch / Set Up & Launch include the agreed 30-day managed launch and team support through day 90 from launch. Full Turnkey adds design and furnishing coordination. Optimize is for an existing rental and includes 90 days of support; it does not include acquisition, licensing or a managed launch.
Are the brochure fees in Canadian dollars?
The standard brochure fees are USD reference prices. Canadian projects receive a written CAD quote confirming the scope, service fee, applicable tax and payment milestones. Smaller properties, multiple suites or a portfolio may receive a tailored quote. A different price is not automatic, and custom discounts do not automatically combine.
What is separate from the service fee?
Property purchase and financing, furniture, labour, photography and other vendor invoices, licensing, insurance, taxes, software and ongoing operating costs are separate where applicable. Coordination is included only within the agreed scope. We currently pass negotiated network discounts to clients without commission to us; any operator placement fee is agreed separately.
Do I keep ownership and control?
Yes. You own the property, control your listings and accounts, and receive your payouts. Ross Stays takes no equity and no ongoing management percentage after the managed launch. You choose your operating model and approve the agreed work.
What if performance is lower than expected?
We review the revenue assumptions, operating costs, reserves and downside scenarios before recommending a plan. The managed launch helps calibrate pricing and the guest experience using early bookings. Income, occupancy, profit and investment returns are not guaranteed; the property must work for your budget and tolerance for uncertainty.
How does monthly acceptance work?
We accept up to three new STR launch clients per calendar month so each receives focused attention. This is a client acceptance limit, not a limit on properties launching that month. Qualified waitlist members receive first priority, then qualified applicants are considered in order. Reserved places are shown separately from confirmed acceptances. Your signed onboarding agreement confirms acceptance; start and launch dates are agreed around the property, financing and readiness. An enquiry or call does not reserve a place. Optimize and separately scoped hotel work are outside this launch intake.
Do I need financing pre-approval to enquire?
No. Share your details and current financing position. Pre-approval is preferred for buyers and must be complete before paid onboarding where financing is required. Owners who already have a property receive a scope appropriate to their setup and operating needs.
