Vrbo and Airbnb send automated messages.

Do you use any tools or services to automate the process, or is it something you manually handle?

-Signing lease agreements via portalI am working on  automating and hiring a VA to handle all advertising, applications, and lease agreements.Allowing my onsite managers to focus more on the day to dayI looked into Rentalutions but I'm cheap!!  

For instance, in cities with lots of medical clinics, salons, or hotels, AI automation could help businesses optimize daily operations, reduce costs, and provide better service.

This works, but is VERY manual and I'd love to bring some automation to the table.

The model flagged listings that could likely generate more revenue with better descriptions.4.Market Comparison: Using Zillow Zestimate APIs and AirDNA, they compared similar properties in the area and forecasted how much more the property could make if the photos and descriptions were improved.5.Property List: All of this data was organised into a Google Sheet for further review.6.Automating Outreach: They used Claude to generate personalised outreach emails and DMs to homeowners, pitching offers for the properties.The entire process revolves around identifying undervalued homes that look worse online than they actually are.Has anyone seen anything like this?

I got into this by accident when i took a job via upwork as a VA  for Vontive and stated at interview  i could lower there costs and stress by automating there lead gen.I automated the lead gen and they didnt need 5 0f the 6 VAs they hired and we cut there costs by nearly 60%.Thats when i realised that you could automate even the cross platform data scraping.Then i got some extra clients from Upwork and now Im on here to help, offer the same and expand to others.going to the recorder office/courtYou only need to go to the physical building if thre is information on the documents that you need but cant view online.
