Just wandering how effective and functional it is?

Reports: They have a great reports area; you can run a report for just about everything and export it to excel or other format if you wish.Add Ons: You can add services such as integration with QuickBooks, SMS Messaging, PM module (with lots of tools/services geared towards property managers), hosted website if you don't already have your own.Integrations: OwnerRez can integrate with many other tools/apps common in the industry such as dynamic pricing tools (Pricelabs, Beyond Pricing, PerfectPrice and the tool that I use Rented.com), wifi locks such as RemoteLock, Kaba/Oracode, eRentalLock, etc), housekeeping apps such as VRScheduler & ResortCleaning, guest books apps such as TouchStay & YourWelcome and more.There are a lot of free tools out there that you can use to help manage your short term rental bookings but for the very reasonable prices charged by OwnerRez you can benefit from so many more robust features and tools not available through those free tools.

If you are going to use a box store stick to Home Depot, sign-up for a pro account and take advantage of their backend office for Pro's, it is very robust and will make your life easier. 

I am not a fan of cap ex/maintenance being a function of the rent, but many calculators do it that way. 

It's a robust software program that was well worth the fee giving access to the same MLS data that real estate agents have at their fingertips. 

@Allen Wu it will appreciate as Texas in general is but I don't believe it will get as hot as Austin since our economy is much more robust and well diversified.

The first you can mitigate buy building that portfolio in a way that you could exit with selling a bundle as a functioning business with great cash flow.

That functionality is not dependent upon wifi.

I can't say I expect the situation to be as robust with Galveston...but that is really where my due diligence is headed. 

It is much more a function of age, class of unit/area, size, number of bathrooms, past maintenance than rent.
