Frequently Asked Questions for Property Owners & Managers
Clear answers about listing your property and generating more reservations with IPM.
How does IPM’s 10% commission work?
We only charge 10% on reservations that IPM brings you. Your existing reservations stay yours. There is no upfront fee to get started, so we only make money when we generate new revenue for your available nights.
Do I have to stop using my Airbnb account?
No. You can keep your current Airbnb listing and the reservations you already have. IPM can add your property to additional channels and connect the calendars so everything works together without double bookings.
Which booking platforms can you list my property on?
We can distribute your property across major booking channels such as Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia and other available platforms, plus our direct booking channels. The goal is to put your empty nights in front of more travelers.
How do you prevent double bookings?
We connect and sync the calendars across the platforms we manage. When a reservation comes in, those dates are blocked across the connected calendars so the same nights are not sold twice.
What if I don’t use a booking platform or I already have blocked dates?
That is fine. You can send us your existing reservations and blocked dates by WhatsApp or email. We keep the master calendar updated. If you take a direct reservation later, simply send it to us so we can block those dates.
How quickly can my property be set up?
Once we have the property information, photos, rates and availability, we can usually begin setting up the listings and connected calendars within a few days. You do not have to spend weeks learning each platform yourself.
Do I get access to see the reservations?
Yes. You receive access to the IPM owner portal, where you can see the reservations we generate and follow your property activity. You can also receive notifications when new reservations come in.
Do I need professional photos?
Professional photos are recommended because better photos can improve the listing, but they are not required to start. We can use your current photos first. If you want professional photos, we can also help check photographer options and pricing in your area.
Which tax regime should I register under with Hacienda or SAT?
That depends on your personal tax situation and how your rental income is handled. IPM does not choose a tax regime for owners. We recommend confirming the correct option with your accountant or tax professional while we handle the booking-platform setup.
What happens if I want to cancel IPM services?
IPM does not charge a cancellation fee. We just need to make sure any reservations already confirmed are properly handled. The goal is to keep the process simple and transparent for the owner.
