STR Property Software
Hey Everyone,
I was looking for input regarding STR and property management software like Lodgify. Right now we only have 1 STR so is this even needed? We do plan on expanding our properties. Does anyone have recommendations on how they handle their properties today whether property management w/software connection or just working with the property management team.

I'd definitely start using property management software now, even if you only have one unit at the moment. Once you have set everything up and are used to using the software, it will grow with your portfolio.
I'm a big fan of self-managing too, as it gives you more control over everything. Of course it depends on what your capacity is and whether you are able to put the time required into self-management. Either way, software will help automate some of your processes, saving you time in the long run.
