🙋‍♀️ Who Should We Feature?

Recently, my property manager called, wanting to discuss my obscenely high heating bill over the last few months

👉“Come on by,” I told her. “My door is always open!” 🤣

🔑 Unlock the Hidden Income in Your Home

🔍 The simple truth a local property expert wants every homeowner to know

Have you ever considered that the place you call home could also be a source of income? For many homeowners like you, a primary residence holds untapped potential, ready to generate revenue during those times you're away—whether for a season or just a longer trip.

This very idea reshaped Giugi Carminati’s life. As a mother of four, she knew the stress of restrictive and expensive hotels. The freedom of vacation rentals was a personal revelation and combined with her decades of experience managing her own and many other properties, it inspired her to purchase the iTrip Colorado Springs franchise this past August.

Yet, many homeowners hesitate, worried about the overwhelming tasks: managing bookings, screening guests, the round-the-clock demands of guest service, coordinating cleanings, and handling late-night maintenance calls. The thought of trusting your home to strangers can feel like an insurmountable hurdle.

This is precisely the peace of mind Giugi provides. Drawing on her protective instincts with a law degree, she ensures your asset is treated with care. iTrip’s full-service management handles every detail, from marketing your property to providing 24/7 guest support, letting you rest easy.

While not a path to instant wealth, Giugi explains in our interview that homeowners can generally expect to retain about 50% of the rental income after expenses. This supplemental income can help fund your own travels, ease monthly budget pressures, or build your savings.

Getting started is a simple, no-pressure conversation about your goals. You always retain complete control, using your home whenever you wish.

Curious, but not ready to commit? Get a friendly, no-obligation assessment of your home's potential. Contact Giugi today through iTrip Colorado Springs, email [email protected] or call 719-888-3787.
