I would love to see the BP trainers do a video/webinar class on how to use the brrr calculator and fix and flip using hard money, I’m with you on it being really confusing. 

@Derek Hobart use a 1) channel manager for guest messaging (Your Porter, IGMS, Smartbnb, OwnerRez to name a few), 2) dynamic pricing tool (Pricelabs or Beyond Pricing), 3) digital guest guide where you can embed short instructional videos (Hostfully), 4) WiFi lock (Schlage Smart Connect w/Smart Things Hun or Schlage Encode no hub needed), camera (Ring Cam) and thermostat (Honeywell).
