People want flexibility, mobility, convenience, and automation...including residents, not just travelers. 

STR takes time and you can only automate so much, while ltrs can be basically completely hands off with the right tenants.

The automated guest messages as well as the smart lock integration is worth its monthly price, which is much cheaper than other PM software. 

It's just a quick and dirty way to filter the search results that litter my desk!

My current flow is 1) find a house that matches the configuration (X beds, Y bath)  in a certain neighborhood (Redfin or my agent)2) pull up rent data in rentometer / Zillow 3) run through my spreadsheet with expenses, taxes, insurances and etc I would love these to be automated.

I built out our own in house systems and processes, we've automated a ton of the work, have an electrician and handyman who specialize in plumbing for each market with a primary and 1-2 backup cleaners.

I am looking for something that is user friendly, makes automated emails to tenants the day before payments are due, when they are issued a late payment fee, an eviction notice, has the best credit card processing fees and automatic payments. 

Custom Excel or Google Sheets SpreadsheetPros:Highly customizable to fit exactly what data you want to track.No extra cost if you already have access to Microsoft Office or Google Workspace.Easy to share and collaborate with partners if you use Google Sheets.Cons:Can become cumbersome to manage as your portfolio grows.Lacks automated features like real-time updates or integration with banking systems.2.

Some of my favorite stuff right now:  Jasper (like chatGPT but build for marketing), Tolstoy (video FAQ system for your website), and a FB automation tool from Stonefeather Marketing. 

I like it a lot more than Beyond Pricing - Get messaging automated (airgms, guesty, smartbnb, you name it) helps a ton - Automate checkin if you haven’t vía smart locks Feel free to DM me for more info and best of luck!
