A Local Indianapolis Property Management Team You Can Trust
Matt Pesler
Owner & Managing Director
About Me
Hi, I'm Matthew Pesler, owner and director of Grand Welcome Indianapolis. I grew up near Dayton, Ohio, where I graduated from Wright State University with a bachelor's degree in Organizational Leadership. Since then, I've lived in several cities including Boston, Denver, Nashville, Cincinnati, and now proudly call Indianapolis home.
I started out in business management and later became co-owner of a successful insurance agency. My love for travel and hospitality ultimately led me to vacation rental management, where I've found a true passion for creating memorable guest experiences. I'm incredibly grateful to my family, who have always been my biggest supporters.
Over the past decade, I've built a personal short term rental portfolio of 30+ units and assembled a team that consistently goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional stays for both guests and homeowners across the Indianapolis area.
What I Love About Indianapolis
In my free time, I enjoy catching a game at Lucas Oil Stadium, and spending time outdoors at Eagle Creek Park. One of my favorite local traditions is grabbing a classic pork tenderloin sandwich, and you'll often find me at Workingman's Friend enjoying one of the best in the city.

Are vacation rentals allowed in Indianapolis, Indiana?
Yes! Indianapolis enacted Chapter 852 (effective January 1, 2025), creating a formal Short-Term Rental permit program. Key requirements include:
• Permit required from the Department of Business & Neighborhood Services (DBNS) — $150 initial fee, annual renewal
• 2-night minimum stay required for all STRs
• Permit number must be displayed on all listings (Airbnb, VRBO, etc.)
• Designate a 24/7 local contact person
• Indiana state law (HB 1035 / IC 36-1-24) protects owner-occupied primary residences as a permitted use in any residential zone
😅 Take the headache out of managing your own vacation rental. Partner with us and we will take care of everything for you.
Do I need to collect and remit taxes for vacation rentals in Indianapolis, Indiana?
Airbnb and VRBO are classified as marketplace facilitators under Indiana law and are required to collect and remit both the 7% Indiana state sales tax and the 10% Marion County Innkeeper's Tax (17% combined) on your behalf for bookings made through their platforms.
For direct bookings, you're responsible for collecting and remitting these taxes yourself. All STR hosts must also register with the Indiana Department of Revenue for a Retail Merchant Certificate before listing — and file returns each period, even with $0 in direct bookings.
🏖 Make life easier and allow us to handle tax compliance on your behalf. If you have any questions about short-term rental taxes, drop us a line and we'd be happy to help!
