What exactly is the job?

You offer this as a specific product or service: Provide verified key exchange, lockbox setup, and arrival coordination for hosts, landlords, cleaners, and contractors. The customer pays for the completed result described below, not for a vague list of ideas.

Who needs it

Property hosts, landlords, agents, and maintenance teams.

Why the opportunity exists

Access problems are urgent and local; remote owners pay for reliability and documented handovers.

How money is made

Per handover, waiting-time fee, lockbox setup, and monthly availability package.

Startup requirement

Low. Requires transport, secure procedures, and appropriate insurance.

Illustrative unit economics

Illustrative month: 30 handovers at €15 average equals €450 revenue before travel, waiting time, tax, and failed appointments.

Illustrative scenario only—not a forecast or guarantee. Verify current prices, taxes, platform fees, legal requirements, and demand before spending money.

How to find the first customer

Offer backup handover coverage to local hosts and property managers.

Pre-launch checklist
  • Confirm there is real demand using conversations, sold listings, or pre-orders.
  • Calculate the complete landed cost, including time, travel, fees, tax, failures, and refunds.
