It does not seem to let me link it here, but i found a lot of help and value from Robuilts recent video titled "The harsh truth about the collapse of short-term rentals". There is some seriously good and free knowledge bombs dropped in the video, and they do discuss Blue Ridge in the video. Thanks @Avery Carl for always sharing your invaluable wealth of knowledge. 

For my short term, I use Hostaway and love it. They have features for both STR and MTR. It can be rather expensive / cost prohibitive at just 1 unit, but it still can be very beneficial.

I only manage one cabin, but I use Guesty for hosts, Pricelabs, and remote lock. 

Great, thanks @Caleb Brown!

Hey Everyone! 

Really working towards my 3rd deal. I currently live full time in a van, and travel full time, so i am looking for another remote investment. I currently have a Long term rental in WA, and a STR in TN. I have yet to narrow down a strategy / market for my next deal, should I try to get pre-qualified to know what i can even be looking at? How should i go about getting prequalified without knowing what market im looking at, and does it matter?

Thanks!

 I see that there was no response to this, and i happened to stumble upon this thread, so i thought i would send out a couple options. I use Guesty for automated messaging, price labs for pricing, and i just started using an AI bot to respond to one off questions, called "guest Guru" too early to tell if it will help, but this is what i would use if co-hosting another property. 

This is very late but i found this searching for something else, so i thought i would reply. I bought from The Short Term shop and @Luke Carl who helped out a ton!

Some of them are like $150 / night lower than i want to have them at... Most of them are around $50 less per night than I plan to book them out. At this point, if people dont respond, ill take it as a cancellation and hope more people dont respond :D Also 9 cabins is crazy, rock on!

Thanks Scott, that is a super cool call out! how do those extra days work for letting your cleaners know? i really like that idea though, and am definitely going to check that out! Thanks man.

I love that, thats exactly what i needed to hear, i want to make this as automated as possible, and i know a computer can do things a heck of a lot better than i could with a calculator, but i also dont want to put all my trust and hope in one place. Ill stick it out and watch how it goes closely, and go from there. I really appreciate your response, so thank you!
