Rent-by-the-room: The numbers and operational realities property managers need to know

Fri, September 18, 2026
Online event

Property managers know the challenge: door-by-door growth only gets you so far. In this session, Suzanne Vetillart of PadSplit and property management acquisition specialist Stacey Salyer take a numbers-first look at rent-by-room as a way to increase revenue per property and create a new growth engine—without adding more doors. We’ll break down the model using conservative assumptions, explain how PadSplit supports PM-run properties, and get into the operational realities that often hold operators back—including difficult tenancies, evictions, screening, documentation, and prevention. You’ll also learn how PadSplit’s marketplace, member screening, 24/7 support, management tools, and new host protection tool, HostGuard, can reduce operational lift and help protect your portfolio. Come for the numbers. Leave with a clearer understanding of whether rent-by-room belongs in your growth strategy.

“The company’s mission to leverage housing as a vehicle for financial independence is a great one. The best thing about PadSplit is the cash flow, which has far and away been better pound-for-pound than anything else that I've experienced. It’s just fantastic.”
