If you task a VA with managing Hemlane then you'll have a pretty automated system at a fraction of the cost 

If you want the most automation, find a pm that focuses on that.

I would like to use a PMS to automate most important booking platforms, price labs, etc.  

There are cat owners who take precautions, like putting waterproof barriers under litter boxes, keep cats out of closets, etc., but those I’ve met are all owners, not tenants.

They apologized about 2 hours later and said it was an automated system problem.

Every turnover I do is littered with scuffed up, dirty, and damaged trim and doors, especially if they are white.

Then provide them with a preferred vendor list, set up electronic locks and make the landlording a little more automated.

I use REI Automator and I really like it but it seems like most investors have never used it are more familiar with PropStream for some reason (Ive also never used PS)?

For me - I must have value add - whether that means expansion, increasing rates, occupancy %, moving to automation and managing remotely etc - there needs to be a for sure way I can add value and streamline operations.

We paid for Sean's Airbnb Automated course.
