They don’t believe in good customer service. 

You will be selling a service: solving other people's problems. 

I'm looking to categorize my buyers and blast out a text message to specific groups whenever I get a property that fits their criteria.I'm sure services like this exist out there but I'm looking for the most cost effective one and I'd rather hear the best from you guys rather than from the salesman pitching their product.Does anyone use a platform like this and how does it perform for you?

We handle everything—from guest inquiries to maintenance—allowing you to enjoy the freedom and flexibility you deserve, no matter where you live.Some of our main services include: FREE maintenance and regular inspections (yes, you read that correctly—free), professional cleaning management, supply management, smart pricing optimization, 24/7 guest and homeowner support, and more!

This is not only my experience, but when you call VRBO or Airbnb customer service, they will tell you the same thing.  

I've been working in software consulting services for over 15 years and it's kind of disheartening that I haven't been able to figure it out, but I've got other things to worry about (like how to get a few more properties so i don't have to worry about buggie tech crap anymore :) ).

Instead of paying into someone else’s property, you could be using that allowance to finance your own real estate investment.In Germany, you have access to a stable market with long-term growth potential, and U.S. service members and government civilians have unique advantages here.

@Holly Thorsen see above for potential challenges tapping your equity in the rental.You only need 5% down for a regular mortgage, 3% down for an FHA mortgage - so why don't you have the funds?

If they say Service Link, find another house.

JD, don’t disagree on some of the points you’re making above on responsive Web versus mobile app development, but it all comes down to level of engagement and what you’re looking to do with a site or service.
