You can use this to:* See how your listing is doing over time* Compare your listing vs your competition - daily rate - occupancy, etc.* And for low performing properties one of the features i really like is you can make a change to your listing - lets say update the property description, log it, then see if this makes any chances in your placement.I'm not affiliated with them but think its a great tool to turn around poor performing properties - assuming the STR is competitive compared to your competition.I agree with Henry that you can probably do better self-managing IF you have the time and appetite for dealing with guests and learning the dos and don't....Heres is the turnaround of one of our Floridas STR that was lagging - now back to near the top on the first page.

Hi Whitney: the BRRRR strategy has been significantly impacted by the higher mortgage rates and lower LTVs.
