Wordpress is still used by majority of websites but a lot of Wordpress owners are slowly shifting away from it because of it being a super high maintenance site (updating theme, plugin, software, database, etc).

Direct Mail - you can gets lists of distressed properties through title lists and softwares, and send them mails.

Hi Yoel,I've used a number of software from Batchleads, Propstream, Propwire and Property Radar.

hot tubs in that area i would not imagine are THAT big of a necessity. they are going to be more of a non-negotiable in mountainous/woodsy/lakes regions, like in the smokies you really need to have one... however, the maintenance and headaches are notable when you have a hot tub at a STR. really only do it if you absolutely have to. when you ran the #s with that software, i wonder if the properties that do have hot tubs, also had other amenities that were driving the ADR up, and that's what you were seeing. know what i mean?

If you're looking for a software I know that Propstream is a popular option that pulls records from public sources that you can filter for sellers who might be motivated. 

Why, through the sheer power of AI conversational avatars and state-of-the-art software, of course.Enter Luxora, Hiatt's brainchild and AI prodigy.

- set them up on automatic payments with an online rental property software.

I would love to find a software to help automate the following tasks, there are lots of options, most at $40/month, would prefer cheaper but will probably pay this for the best software that can best handle:- creating a direct booking website from my Airbnb listing, I know some websites have an auto-builder which would be preferred- handling automated messaging- handling calendar and payments, including add-ons- sending agreements and collecting and returning depositsI am overwhelmed with the options and suffering analysis paralysis. 

Where as what you are coming across else where is mostly ads or posts by people who are trying to sell you software, programs, classes, etc...    

It's higher was quoted to me initially using their "software"
