(Optional) Bought cleaner a computer for $300 (not necessary they can also do it from their phone). 2.

After three different cleaners and complete air duct cleaning, I think I got it all.

We just felt it was cleaner and more scalable for our goals. 

No, CFDs and mortgages with the deed being conveyed are not at all the same.I suggest you do a note and deed of trust, it's much cleaner for both parties.

We have automated messages that go out whenever people book, then we have two cleaners to choose from whenever we are setting up our turnover.

STRs require more management - 1 to 2 new guests per week which involves managing 50-100 guests per year, marketing the property, managing bookings, guest communication, scheduling cleaners, higher level of maintenance (think lightbulb changes, battery changes, comforter changes, parking passes), etc. 

I created a dashboard from this data so that I can see a real-time wholistic view of my occupancy rates, revenue, avg nights/booking, avg guests/booking, etc. across ALL booking platforms (another custom automation using channel manager, digital automation platform, and sql server database)- Automated Guest Message Check-In Points (standard message templates through channel manager)- Automated Cleaner SMS Notifications for New Bookings, Cancellations, and Check-Outs (standard option that most channel managers offer)- Smart Pricing (PriceLabs) Future Plans:- Install smart bulbs so that I can ensure the lights are turned off when the guest checks out- I would love to figure out how to automate the inventory management piece of that when we're getting low on supplies, they can automatically be re-ordered At this point my level of interaction with the business is quite minimal.

Do you have your cleaners perform specific tasks after each check out?

I'd also put a $45 vacuum cleaner in the unit. 

PROS: They get everything cleaner and treated for pet stains/orders.
