He has a many contractors of every discipline at his disposal.He advises me on what neighborhoods to avoid, and even throws me off market deals (when one of his other clients is divesting).Where he lacks is turnover, trend analysis and periodic maintenance of major components.On turnovers, he focuses on cosmetic issues to get tenants back in ASAP rather than mechanical or other major components that should be given attention while the unit is empty.

Here are some examples: (1) one of my clients buys 25 - 30 properties a month, he would never pay attention to a ranking on markets because he knows the towns he buys in, which has helped make him very successful (he's worth $20 - $25M USD), (2) my partner did some preliminary work for a hedge fun, they were looking to drop tens of millions of dollars - for them market trends mattered a lot because of the amount of capital they were deploying and the time horizon of the investments  I realize that I am not answering your question, but I hope that the above is useful as a frame work.

Pay special attention when selecting your cleaning team, as a dirty airbnb will not perform at the level you are hoping for.As for some tools that could help automate other aspects of your business, maybe look at Smartbnb to help automate your messages.

Pay attention to how many people are onsite working.
