People HATE car dealers for making a few hundred bucks but will not bat an eye for the $20,000 they pay a realtor to make a few phone calls/emails and add you to an automated mls feed, sign a premade contract. 

Now that my AirB&B business is fully automated, I'm setting my eye on a new BHAG. 

I have been using business automation for many years now.

I don't use co-hosts because there are tools that can easily automate the day-to-day operations of an STR. 

I self manage my STR from out of state and the most helpful things have been Guesty (connects my Airbnb & VRBO calendars and sends out my automated messages to guests & cleaners for reminders) PriceLabs for automated pricing, and I am just testing out furnished finder now this winter.

One of these days I'll be out driving for dollars instead of in my cubicle building robots.

Hi All,I am curious what you all are using to automate your bookkeeping?

The key to self management is to have a team of key people to call that you can rely on, especially a plumber/heating guy, and to automate rent collection and anything else you can.

No limits, no theft, automated transfers even on holidays.
