@Travis Andres @Brian Malavsky If you're looking for AI messaging, my team has developed an in-house PMS that is now public called Hostvana (hostvana.io) who's core competency is messaging (along with free lock integration and other features) and is more advanced than Hospitable's for a very affordable price.Here are some recent replies in my personal account inbox:https://ibb.co/nk8KWbR (cleaning fee policy question)https://ibb.co/sgP0qmr (parking question and check on status)https://ibb.co/HCKVPd8 (random question answered with previous context)https://ibb.co/gv0tY16 (early check-in reply after checking calendar.

Luckily most of them are locked in fixed rate loans which gives both the syndicator and investor more leeway and time. 

I’d recommend going with a broker as they usually have better interest rates, and paying attention to rates (mortgagenewdaily.com) to see if they’ve fallen since you locked your rate and you could potentially float down to a better interest rate
