 Hello, just have 1 at the moment - however do plan to have more and structure for maximum asset protection 

Hi, seeking a tax professional or company who can take care of filing taxes for 2022 , Also need help with 2021 . STR portfolio consists of 5 Active listings spanning across NJ, PA & VT. The intention is to have someone knowledgeable assist in Tax planning & consults at the same time help with restructuring via LLCs( aware that it may need a RE attorney ) . The portfolio is growing but not there yet to afford a super expensive accounting firm , preferring to stay within reasonable rates until we can grow the portfolio alongside.

Definitely make a backup listing and start onboarding the guests to yours before you send them a intent to cancel notice -  They would definitely try to convince you otherwise or find reasons to hold payments 

I have used them and would NEVER recommend for anyone to use them ! They are atrocious for the 10% and hard way learnt - they do not do anything to add value. On the contrary their policies are extremely guest centric - last thing a homeowner needs is their own property management company not supporting them in scam like situation. This was when I had 1 STR and I have learnt the hard way that self managing or placing someone local - ( cleaner/handy man or even a co-host) is the way forward.

If you really need to be hands off - definitely find someone local - it may cost more but it will be well worth it. As for Evolve - run as far away from it as possible

 Thank you !

Hi, looking for references for surveyors & contractors  in the Stowe, Vermont area. Looking to initiate a Barn redevelopment project this year or possibly Spring 2023.  Any references greatly appreciated ! 

Hello, I own and operate in the Poconos as well. I can tell you for sure to avoid the marketing which companies like Evolve put across - their numbers are heavily skewed. I own in Lake Harmony as well and I can tell you for a fact that the numbers this year for all of the home owners/hosts are nowhere even close to 2021 !  Talk to as many actual folks who are themselves having "boots on the ground". Poconos is a hot market however it has its own pitfalls - especially in a lot of counties you would see inventory piling up due to restrictions being imposed 

I was with Your Porter and still a part of the Guests for Hosts post their takeover. I agree there are a lot of glitches however when I started on a path of chosing alternatives found out the harder way that companies like Hostfully are far far worse.. 

I am with guests support a lot of times & they fail to replicate my issue however with the cost and other benefits , I am chosing to stick with the lesser of the evils . One thing I can tell you for sure is to totally avoid Hostfully,  their reps are class apart when it comes to conniving strategies and learnt the harder way that their VRBO integration is extremely poor

Totally avoid Hostfully ! Highly unprofessional and unnecessary expensive !  They will try to coerce you into onboarding with a hefty subscription - throw some penny discounts & take 45 days to onboard. The moment you try to cancel they would take half of that amount as retaining fee

A company dealing with such ethics are not to be done business with
