"Our Downtown Franklin historic home cleared $118K in year one. Chādy handled the Type 2 STRP permit, rebuilt the listing, and kept us booked through Pilgrimage weekend and the holiday season. Zero headaches."
James H.

★★★★★
"Switched from a national manager after 14 months. Our Cool Springs townhome earned roughly 24% more the first year on Chādy — lower fee, shorter commitment, and a local team that answers the phone. The mid-term strategy for Nissan relocations was the unlock."
Priya S.

"Hotel-grade operation. 4.94 average across 97 stays at our Westhaven property. Real photography, sharp pricing, 24/7 guest response, clean monthly reporting. Completely hands-off."

How much does property management cost in Franklin, TN?

Who is the best property management company in Franklin, TN?

Services include dynamic pricing, 30+ platform distribution, 24/7 guest support, and end-to-end handling of Franklin STRP Type 1 and Type 2 permits, Williamson County business licensing, and Tennessee sales and occupancy tax registration.
What Franklin neighborhoods does Chādy manage?

How much can my Franklin property earn as a rental?
Franklin rental revenue depends on submarket, bedroom count, ADR tier, rental strategy (short-term, mid-term, or long-term), and finish level. Submit your address for a custom 24-hour revenue projection based on comparable properties in your neighborhood.
How fast can my Franklin short-term rental go live?
Most Franklin STRP Type 1 (owner-occupied) properties launch within 2–3 weeks. Type 2 (non-owner-occupied) properties require city zoning approval and typically launch in 4–8 weeks depending on permit status. Onboarding includes professional photography, listing creation, dynamic pricing setup, Franklin STRP permit support, Williamson County business licensing, and distribution across 30+ platforms including Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com.
Does Chādy handle the Franklin STRP permit?
Yes. Chādy supports owners through the full Franklin Short-Term Rental Property (STRP) permit process — Type 1 (owner-occupied) and Type 2 (non-owner-occupied) applications, zoning verification through the Franklin Planning Department, fire inspection scheduling, responsible-party designation, Williamson County business license, and Tennessee sales and occupancy tax registration.
Is Airbnb legal in Franklin, TN?
Yes — with the correct permit. Franklin regulates short-term rentals through its STRP ordinance with two permit tiers: Type 1 for owner-occupied properties (allowed in most residential zones) and Type 2 for non-owner-occupied properties (restricted to specific zoning districts, primarily central and commercial areas). All Franklin STR operators must hold an active STRP permit, a Williamson County business license, a Tennessee sales tax account, and remit the Franklin 4% hotel-motel tax. Chādy handles the full registration and compliance process.
What is the difference between Franklin STRP Type 1 and Type 2?
Type 1 STRP is for owner-occupied properties — the owner lives at the property as their primary residence and rents a portion or the whole home while present or temporarily absent. Type 2 STRP is for non-owner-occupied properties operated purely as short-term rentals, and is restricted to specific Franklin zoning districts. Type 2 permits cap the total number allowed citywide and have stricter parking, inspection, and density requirements. Chādy validates zoning eligibility before onboarding any Franklin property.
Do you also manage mid-term and long-term rentals in Franklin?
Yes. Mid-term furnished rentals are a strong fit for Franklin given the Nissan North America, Mars Petcare, Ramsey Solutions, CHS, LifePoint, Schneider Electric, AllianceBernstein, and Tractor Supply headquarters. We manage 30+ night corporate relocation and traveling-professional stays at 15–18%, and 12-month long-term leases at 10–12%.
Do I still control my Franklin property?
Yes. Owners retain full ownership, set blackout dates, and can use the property personally at any time.
What's included in full-service Franklin property management?
Dynamic pricing, 30+ platform listings (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Expedia, and more), 24/7 guest communication, hotel-quality cleaning, maintenance coordination, professional photography, Franklin STRP Type 1 or Type 2 permit handling, Williamson County business license registration, noise monitor setup, Tennessee sales tax and Franklin hotel-motel tax collection and remittance, and monthly owner reporting.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. Chādy operates on a 90-day initial commitment, then month-to-month.
How is Chādy different from national property managers in Franklin?
Chādy is a boutique, full-service hospitality operator — not a national call center. Dedicated local ops, a 4.9-star average across 4,000+ reviews, 90-day commitments (vs. 12–24 months at most national managers), 18–25% STR fees, deep Franklin STRP and Williamson County compliance expertise, and full-service management across a multi-state luxury portfolio.
How much does the average Franklin Airbnb make per month?
Public Franklin STR market data (Rabbu, AirDNA, AirROI) puts average short-term rental annual revenue around $42,000–$58,000 with market ADR in the $210–$290 range. Chādy-managed Franklin properties typically outperform that baseline materially — 2-BR homes generate $52K–$78K gross annually, 3-BR homes $74K–$112K, and 4-BR+ luxury homes $110K–$175K+. Actuals depend on bedroom count, finish level, STRP type, neighborhood, and seasonality.
What taxes do Franklin short-term rental hosts pay?
Franklin short-term rental hosts owe Tennessee state sales tax (7%), Williamson County local option sales tax (2.75%), and the City of Franklin hotel-motel occupancy tax (4%) — roughly 13.75% total on every booking under 30 nights. Chādy registers your property with the Tennessee Department of Revenue and the City of Franklin, collects all taxes automatically through Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com, reconciles direct bookings, and remits on schedule so you stay compliant and audit-ready.
Which Franklin neighborhoods have the highest rental revenue?
Downtown Franklin and the Main Street Historic District command premium ADR driven by Pilgrimage Festival, Main Street Festival, and year-round walkability. Westhaven and Berry Farms drive strong mid-term demand for Cool Springs executives. Leiper's Fork positions for luxury weekend getaways and events. Cool Springs is a corporate relocation hotspot. Best fit depends on bedroom count, guest segment, rental strategy, and STRP zoning eligibility — Chādy validates zoning before listing.
What drives Franklin rental demand year-round?
Franklin STR and MTR demand is unusually stable thanks to Williamson County's Fortune-500 HQ base (Nissan North America, Mars Petcare, Ramsey Solutions, CHS, LifePoint Health, Schneider Electric, AllianceBernstein, Tractor Supply). Event peaks include Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival (September), Main Street Festival (April), Dickens of a Christmas (December), and Wine Down Main Street (July). Corporate relocation demand underpins the mid-term segment 12 months a year.
Can I switch from a national manager to Chādy in Franklin?
Yes. Franklin rental owners frequently switch from national full-service managers to Chādy for lower fees (18–25% vs. 25–35% industry norms), shorter commitment (90 days vs. 12–24 months), a dedicated local team instead of a national call center, and higher guest ratings (4.9★ vs. 4.3–4.6★ category average). Transition is handled end-to-end in under 30 days.
Does Chādy operate at Airbnb Superhost standards in Franklin?
Yes. Chādy's Airbnb host accounts consistently operate at Superhost-caliber metrics across Franklin (TN), Nashville (TN), Blue Ridge (GA), and Fort Lauderdale (FL) — 4.9-star average across 4,000+ guest reviews, sub-1-hour response times, and under 1% cancellation rate. Superhost badge status is reviewed quarterly by Airbnb and varies by listing and review period; Chādy-managed listings meet or exceed all program thresholds.
