Switching from Evolve to Hospitable Issues?

[Kyle Jacques]

I am a new investor and I have had my property for a year now but want to self manage now.  I also work a full time W2 and have 3 kids in sports, so time is not always my friend. I was referred to Hospitable on another post and want to use them.

I am struggling getting set up on Hospitable to start self managing property.  They are not allowing me to set my property up until I have it listed on Airbnb and other sites etc., but I don't want to cancel with Evolve and then be off the market for a period of time while trying to get all the data and info into Hospitable. Does anyone know if there are people or resources to help get property set up on Hospitable fast?  I have tried doing it, but I keep getting over whelmed with it and find myself just not doing it. I really want to make sure it is done correct and not half assed. 

Any advice or help would be great!

Do you even own the listings with Airbnb, VRBO et al?  My guess is that Evolve does and when you cancel with them, you will have to start from scratch anyway.  If this is the case, set up your listings on Airbnb etc. but block out the calendar until you are ready to start taking reservations.  This should at least help get you started with Hospitable.  Also, on your comment "on all channels", not sure you need that either.  Do you get reports from Evolve telling you what channels you mainly get your bookings from?  I would start there.  My guess is Airbnb, VRBO and maybe Booking.com.
