About Kammili Properties

The Person Behind the Portfolio

Kammili Properties exists for owners who want their short-let run properly by someone they can actually reach, not routed through an account manager who changes every quarter. That person is Krishna Kammili.

01 · THE FOUNDER STORY

I’ve Done Every Job in This Business Myself

Krishna Kammili, founder and managing director of Kammili Properties

I was 21, working at KFC and doing my masters at the same time.

My parents went away for a month and I put two of the rooms on Airbnb. I wrote the listing, set the pricing, answered every message, did the changeovers myself and figured out the rest as I went. It made money. What actually got me was the realisation sitting behind it: this was an entire industry, and I had walked into it by accident.

So I took on two more jobs.

That year was finishing shifts, coursework and every spare pound going into one pot. I was not building a business yet, I was buying a starting position. There was no investor, no family money and no shortcut. Just working more hours than I wanted to for longer than I wanted to.

Eventually the pot was big enough. I put it into my first property that I had taken on as a rent to rent.

The years since

I now manage a portfolio across Greater Manchester.

The thing I did not expect is how much of the early work still shows up. I have done every job in this business myself, at some point. I have cleaned a property at 11 am with a guest arriving at 2 pm. I have written a listing description that didn’t cater to the right target guest.

That matters now more than ever because I have a team doing the cleans, the check-ins and the day to day, and there is nothing I ask them to do that I have not done first. When something goes wrong I know where it went wrong, because I have made the same mistake myself.

How I actually work

Most management happens on a laptop. A lot of mine happens in a car.

I go out to construction sites and speak to contractors directly. I want to know how long a project is running and where the crews are staying, because a team booked into hotels for four months is usually better off in an apartment, and it is cheaper for their company too. I do the same with businesses who have stayed with us before, turning a single booking into a returning account.

That is where the long stays come from. Longer stays mean higher occupancy, fewer changeovers and income an owner can actually plan around.

Alongside that, every property goes out across multiple platforms rather than sitting on Airbnb alone, and listings and pricing stay under constant review rather than being set once and forgotten.

Across the portfolio that currently runs at 80% average occupancy and a 4.8 review score.

What you deal with

Me. Not an account manager and not a ticketing system. I handle the owner relationship personally across all my properties, and behind me is a team handling the operational side. The accountability sits with me.

You get the passive income. I get the 12am problems.

“I treat every property as if the income mattered to me personally, because the relationship with the owner is the whole business, not a line in a spreadsheet.” Krishna Kammili, Founder & Managing Director, MSc
