STR owner starting out with 1st rental

[Scott Watson]

Hey guys, I would love to hear your feedback on MUST HAVE PMS platforms for "newbie" STR investor. I would like to use a PMS to automate most important booking platforms, price labs, etc. my goal is to keep it as simple and low cost as possible.

I've read and researched so much on STR startup and mgmt at this point, but looking for some real world experience before we make a decision. Any books, guru's, podcasts, websites that you can recommend would be so appreciated.

I look forward to your responses.  Thanks in advance. 

Scott
