While it may seem daunting at first, beginning with a clean slate allows you to establish clear expectations and build a strong landlord-tenant relationship from the outset.

I highly recommend investing in a property management software, such as Hospitable, for syncing your calendar, automating messaging, and scheduling cleans, as well as a dynamic pricing tool, such as PriceLabs, for optimizing your pricing based on market demand, local events, and seasonality. 

What alternative method(s) would you recommend for beginners?
