All that to say, don't be afraid to block out the noise here, and elsewhere and trust what the step will do for you and your situation specifically.But overall it was the best decision my wife and I ever made, and has led to more and more as time goes on.

The noise.

The ones I have heard of/tested are as follows:Beyond Pricing, PriceLabs - are automated pricing toolsLodgify - is strong in website development (if you want to drive direct bookings) but from what I viewed are not as strong in the management toolsYourPorter - Cleaner communication toolOneRoofTop - decent tool set, heavy lifting, questionable sustainabilityMyVR - expensive but decent tool setBookerville - their customers love them, their technology appears to be old school (so does their name)I too am on the hunt for a solution because I want to become more passive, moving away from the daily grind of working "in" my business so I can work "on" my business. 

I think sometimes just getting away from the noise and clearing your head (in nature?)

My question would be how much noise are you up for and what are your longer term goals?

Ensure they are a good tenant who pays on time, doesn't have issues with noise/smoking/trash, etc.4.

I fully expect that the day-to-day would be a grind with little emotional reward.Quote by @Jonathan GreeneAnd in regard to gurus in the syndication, do not trust them.

Ask that question 30-50 times per day and you will get some great conversations.Its a grind.

The 2nd image shows a pump that is actually a grinder and with the correct pump you can grind nuts, bolts and nails.
