The calendars for our properties are filling up decently, but it is taking daily work on rates to get that done.

I would give similar advice to someone that wanted to open a restaurant, landscaping company, hair saloon, etc.  

This space is located on a "somewhat" busy street, a good amount of commuters drive by daily getting to the highway.

I "use" them daily and they help me make informed decisions on what a good investment is.

As a real estate agent and an investor, I am on the market daily and explore opportunities for myself and my clients.

Social media folks push that they're "retired" but still run podcasts, sell courses/books/seminars, post daily content, etc... so still actively working. 

Now we are preparing to file for 2023, and I was told by some STR gurus, and also read on here, that we should not be using Schedule C since we are not providing daily hospitality services.

For my MTRs, I just manually price because they have to book 30 days+ anyway, so there's no reason to change daily rates. 

The ones I have heard of/tested are as follows:Beyond Pricing, PriceLabs - are automated pricing toolsLodgify - is strong in website development (if you want to drive direct bookings) but from what I viewed are not as strong in the management toolsYourPorter - Cleaner communication toolOneRoofTop - decent tool set, heavy lifting, questionable sustainabilityMyVR - expensive but decent tool setBookerville - their customers love them, their technology appears to be old school (so does their name)I too am on the hunt for a solution because I want to become more passive, moving away from the daily grind of working "in" my business so I can work "on" my business. 

I am only semi-satisfied with my property manager, and considering taking over the daily management myself but would only want to do that if I have someone good to help me with filling units as they come empty.
