Wrote a thorough review which inspired guesty to refund the 1k+ 'onboarding fee', and they had to beg me to take my money back and remove the review, then they tried to take a % of all my future sales that had ever been listed on their platform... had to repeat the process, got that money back, and never removed the purely honest but devastating review on them.Then I found smart BNB, automated nearly 90% of my communications, including upcharges for pets and early checkins... just about everything... their software is a dream for STRs.

Back in 2020 when the pandemic COVID-19 refi boom started, I made the mistake of trying to broker loans to some of the slow-as-crap cut-rate lenders b/c the working-from-home-nothing-better-to-do consumer demanded it (I don't know your full scenario, I'm just assuming for the sake of discussion that you are getting an unusually good deal in exchange for all the pain they are putting you through), in almost all cases the above math revealed that this was not only financially in error (due to paying interest on the interest rate difference over those several extra months), but on top of that the consumers were NOT happy with their savings, after all the extra time/effort, about 99% of the time (on my end, I don't necessarily want a loan sitting stagnant in my pipeline for 4+ months either, so it's not like I won here either).
