Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

If you really don't value your agent's ability and think you can do it better, it's likely best that you 1) interview more to find one that you do trust, 2) go through the listing agent, directly, if you're that comfortable with handling your side on your own, or 3) maybe get your license so you can control your side of negotiations with the proper tools needed (MLS access with agent info, showings, contracts, tax records, uploaded listing docs like surveys, disclosures, broker assistance for questions, etc.).

If you don't have the vision to have MANY airbnbs in Champaign I'd suggest figuring out a strategy you have a long term big vision.Pros:  High cash flow (if done right), typically properties are oddly better-taken care of, sexyCons:  Management/system intensive, always on call, regulation can change things instantly  

The only other move in charges that we have are for pets, remote controls, and some other odd items that come up.

Every system you try will have flaws or you'll salivate over a feature that shows up in other software.
