Stessa or something else?

Hi Everyone,

I'm curious to know if anyone is using Stessa for STR? I just created an account but wanted to know what everyone else is using for software to track income, expenses, receipts, performance, etc.

We use Stessa for all our properties, LTR and STR (8). It's similar to Personal Capital or Mint but for real estate. Very easy to edit which property an expense is for and can be very specific as to what kind of expense category a charge is for: maintenance, supplies, cleaning, etc. Easy to track and hand to your accountant. Using a Virtual Assistant is not uncommon but we are a step above Paul's abacus and spreadsheet with Stessa and not quite up to Luke's VA. And they both have a helluva lot more props then we do. I haven't had a compelling reason to leave it for QBO.

We use iGMS for messaging and give it an A+. Can write many templates for all our properties and get specific with days, times to have sent out.

The only area I waver on, currently, is pricing. Used wheelhouse once before and didn't like its sourcing (pricing was off). Might give it a try again or give pricelabs a shot. Honestly though, I think today's STR rates are not predictable since Covid, when pricing went rocket high for the summer, and the fall/winter, we'll, time will tell.
