I personally would also do booking.com but my experience has not been as negative as some others here.There are a lot of other platforms I use as a PM like Marriott Homes and Villas and JetBlue airlines but they only work with PM's with over 50 units.

My strength admittedly is on the administrative tasks.For those who are opposite of me, who struggle with the administrative side, would you consider a B2B relationship with a service that takes all of the tasks off of your hands, and if so what would you be willing to pay (% or flat fee).To be clear, what would be offered would be:- Listing on 15+ channels including Marriott Homes and Villas, Abnb, VRBO/, Booking.com, Zillow, coming soon Amex Travel and Hyatt, Jetblue and Allegiant Airlines, and more.- Pricing software w/ live revenue manager- Smart Lock software- 24/7 Guest Communication via platform, voice, text, email.- 24/7 Communication with owner or PM staff for maintenance or cleaning issues. 

You go to one of the nice new automatic washes with the free vacuum cleaners at the end.   

I wanted to be an airline pilot growing up and I think he wanted to be a real estate developer. :)  

As investors we need to analyze things holistically not just in a vacuum. 

Never took an hour to remove it or an hour to install it. 1. shut off water supply line(turn handle) 15 seconds2. flush toilet 10 seconds3. vacuum and drain water 2 minutes maybe 4 lay out cardboard(from toilet box) put out trash bag5 remove 5/16 nuts one on each side with hollow shaft nut driver 2 minutes6 pick up toilet and place into bag 2 minutes7 clean up old wax ring from flange and inspect flange 2 minutes8 place wax ring 1 minute9 install new flange bolts 1 minute 10pick up toilet and place on new ring if you didn’t ring right maybe 5 minutes 10 tighten down new bolts 2 minutes 11 cut bolts and install caps 2 minutes 12 reinstall water line 1 minute and turn on 13 flush to check for leaks 14 caulk back of toilet seal if you choose 1 minute15 carry away toilet to truck 10 minutes tops. this a 30 minute job.

One issue with the splits is that even though the install is easy you still need a professional to vacuum the lines.

We do not drain our hot tub after every guest, but we do test and adjust the chemicals, vacuum it (sand) and skim the top if needed after every guest. 

Another thing, if your cleaners bring their own vacuums, they could be transferring them from house to house. 

Whether it’s a vacuum on Amazon or a service to help my business.
