To be successful and stand out in your role, it requires dedication, drive, strategy and hard work.

But before we go on the quest for all the fancy amenities, I think a lot of STR owners should focus on the basics first.Just my .02I agree, but assuming you already have the solid basics like a nice, clean place and you want to figure out how to choose the best amenities to make your place stand out and increase profitability, the tool I’m trying to find is what I’m asking about. 

Quote from @Mann Phan: @Jimmy Lieu I did, but you are right I scaled too quickly, I guess I can attribute that to sitting on the bench trying to do as much "research" (2 years) as I could then I went all in.

We focus on unique, experiential properties in that market to stand out.

We stand out by provided clean and organized homes to guests and cleaners by labeling where things go in cabinets and supply closets.Our contract is a month-by-month basis, but we want a 30-day notification of cancellation, and we would do the same if we let a client go.

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

Does this help to stand out and get better, higher end tenets or does it just not matter that much?  

In a more competitive environment, you need to make your property stand out to capture the limited demand.

Tampa has a lot of draws, to name a few is Beach, Boating, Golf, Casino, Intl Airport/Biz Travel, Busch Gardens, NFL/NHL/MLB, Concerts/Festivals, and more.I would say Sarasota is a submarket of Tampa but has its own attributes as well. 

If this were my unit I would change all of those white switch covers over to switch covers that we're very close to the paneling color so they blend in rather than stand out.
