i use mine for STR so it is really nice to have notification when a guest arrives or when cleaners are there.But even for LTR, being able to control codes and provide access for maintenance from a distance is a nice convenience. 

So for instance for our lead organization & management, I clean the lists up in google sheets and then download as a .CSV file and upload into Airtable (google sheets on steroids) where its easier and cleaner to manage.I use Airtable to manage our raw leads data - I have a trigger set up, that whenever we change the status to "qualified", that lead will go into our CRM (Salesmate.io) where we track our contacts and deals.

This is like asking in an air travel forum, how do you fly a plane?

Purchase price: $288,486 This was our single-family home while stationed in Oklahoma with the Air Force.

No matter how good your cleaners and handyman are, something may be missed.

Hello.  Would hiring someone through up work be a good strategy to cold call on prospects for giving me an opportunity to CoHost their STR?

He bought it with the expectation that they will build #5, but that's up in the air and years down the road.

I have a property manager who helps with the booking and renter issues (if any), a cleaner who turns over the property.

You may thing you're buying a vacant lot, but it has $100,000 worth of junk to haul off, or that faded letter on the window when you get up close and personal says "dry cleaner". 

My strategy is just to slowly improve the property as I can, subdivide two of the apartments into studios for LTR or STR/Air BnBs, and either live with the improved cash flow or flip it once I get the property in better shape.
