Hey Sean, How about a little insight from a self-managing landlord in Fayetteville?

I appreciate the insight. 

In that regard Zapier offers an application called webhooks that has support with Lodgify, however there isn't for Rategain(Channel Manager). so I seeking towards finding ways to join both channel managers to benefit both of two worlds.

We actually leased from a vendor and offered as ancillary revenue to Guests.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

Multiple offers.

Also, most decent STR property managers will be happy to offer projections for properties, or even realtors who do a lot of STR business as well. 

Create & define your Buy Box and then find properties that fit.Make offers that make your numbers work, not the asking price.

I know at one time VHDA was offering 40 year financing on mixed use projects.

Make a lower offer that reflects more than the additional cost of that problem.
