Both new platforms with the host in mind.

Clear room pics, walk-thru video tour hosted online done to a manner where a person does in-person walk through and says "yup, exactly what I saw in video". - A clear, step-by-step process for filtering and pre-screening interested persons.

I'm looking into the available integrations through PMS software like Guesty, Hostfully, etc. that could help with things that the PMS does not offer.Which PMS systems do y'all use?

I found the best place to start is at the local meetup groups...make friends with the hosts and who their best connections are. 

Looking for suggestions on co-hosting, STR market analysis, RE investing for or in retirement - just reading anything I can get my hands on in my (late in life) RE journey.

We use hostfully to list on multiple channels, pricelabs to help with maximizing REVPAR, U-Tec to manage smartlocks, and turno to manage our cleaners.

So, the difference in price & closing costs would establish firmly the amount.

@Tom Dieringer, I am a firm believer that STRs are more of a marketing play than anything else.  

He also does some coaching and hosts a few groups on the topic. 

Hi All ~ In a recent episode of Real Estate Rookie, Tony + Ashley referenced a platform that you can link to your hosting platform that will allow guests to book add-ons directly; they were advising someone who wanted to offer the option of daily passes to a local gym.I'm actually needing/would love to have something like this, + didn't know that such platforms existed.
