Maybe the 2nd is simply an email 3 months later that is automated. 

I currently have automated messages set up through Airbnb's page that go out on booking, before check-in, the day after, and before check-out. 

Recently several people I know in the real estate arena are looking for additional cash flow opportunities and one area is in the area of e-commerce - there are several real estate gurus out there who are now pitching automated online stores.The premise - pay an up front fee of between $25,000 to $40,000 for their team to help you - set up your company, establish a credit card to buy product, build your online store and presence, research products, place them and market them on your store, sell them before you buy them, then using your credit and credit card, they buy them and fulfill the order to the customer. 

CF the "lying down" above--that alone WILL bring a country to its knees, as full automation is a pipe dream.And also on topic, buy in towns with a hefty black population or that mainland Chinese people haven't heard of, and you avoid the mainland Chinese bubble. 

Doesn’t use automation much, takes cash.

A lot of the lending 'competition' out there won't even return your phone calls, so just because they send you an automated quote from their website, doesn't mean they are going to be there for you.The other thing that I would mention that hasn't been said yet is that your list of the TYPES of lenders is pretty limited.

There are some apps and devices to help automate things and worst case I live 45min away.

Even with everything automated, there is still some work involved.

Hey all, so I'm renting out my apartment by rooms, so I would be receiving multiple rental checks each month.  Does anybody know of a service that can do auto payment when rented out by rooms?  I'm using apartments.co...

I own a small MHP where the tenants are used to walking the money over to the park managers house, which I don't mind that but I would rather automate this whole thing.
