Military families move 400,000+ times a year. They need safe, compliant housing. You have a property near base. ConvoyStay connects you — with zero commission for Founding Hosts.
★ Founding Host Program
Founding Hosts get in before the platform is full. That means better placement, zero fees, and a seat at the table while we build this. We're selective — this is not open enrollment.
Every dollar you earn is yours. No platform fee, no booking cut — nothing. After 6 months, Founding Hosts keep a permanent discounted rate. We grow together.
Your listing carries the gold Founding Host badge permanently. Military families trust early hosts — the badge signals that you were here before the crowds and you know what you're doing.
Founding Host listings appear at the top of every search at your installation. PCS season is competitive — you'll be the first option families see when they start looking.
You tell us what you need. Founding Hosts get early access to new features and a direct line to the product team. We're building the tools you'll actually use — your feedback shapes what ships next.
Why Host on ConvoyStay
Service members are background-checked by the DoD. Every guest is active duty, reserve, or a verified military family member. No strangers off the internet.
Military families receive TLA/TLE housing allowances from the government. Your payment is backed by DoD funding — not a personal credit card that might not clear.
PCS season runs June through August. Demand is massive, supply is thin. List your property once and it fills. Families are searching actively, often 30-60 days out.
ConvoyStay auto-generates TLA/TLE formatted receipts for every stay. No admin work, no awkward invoice requests. Families file smoothly, hosts get paid on time.
Orders change. Move dates shift. Military families don't need explanations — they know the drill. No last-minute drama about why check-in is a week late.
TLE stays are typically 14–60 days. Not Friday-to-Sunday. You rent once and collect for weeks. Lower turnover, lower hassle, higher total income.
