In rent-to-rent, you lease a property directly from the landlord and take full operational and financial responsibility, including rent payments during void periods. A Houst operating partnership works differently: you source and manage properties under the Houst brand, using its pricing, guest management and cleaning infrastructure, without assuming a direct lease obligation. The partnership model carries lower financial risk but a different revenue structure. The Houst R2R vs partnership calculator lets you compare projected income from both models side by side.
