@Nigel GiovanniHello Nigel, I'm connected to an alternative lending group that specializes in fix and flip financing.

@Blake Lawrence, the tools will adjust your price up/down according to demand, special events and etc... but ultimately your base rate is what sets the tool.I used Wheelhouse & Beyond Pricing at the same time,  setting the same base rate( i have 2 houses on the same st that are the same size and rent for about the same ) , there was no notable difference on how their pricing adjustments worked, I did notice that Beyond Pricing was a little more aggressive raising and lower rates, but that can easily be replicated on wheelhouse if it is a strategy you want to follow.Beyond Pricing has the advantage of being the preferred Homeaway partner.Good luck
