What Is Your Biggest Pain Point As A Host?

What is one of your big pain points as a STR Host? I hope this thread can help solve some issues hosts have with the experiences of others.

Here is one of mine. How can I better automate my lease agreement being sent out, information filled in, and then easily signed by the guest? I use docusign now but I know there are better solutions. My PMS has agreements but it is just a click box that they read it. My attorney said that a real signature holds more weight always.

    My rules are legally accepted and their IP address recorded so I don't do any lease signing. Leases are for LTR properties.

    I don't use much of any paid 3rd party software and my house is pretty much on auto pilot. Very little time on my part.

    I do drive an hour to mow the grass myself, but only because I might ride a jet ski while I'm there.

    Life is good.
