Account setup once you have more than 1 STR

Hi Everyone

We've had a beach house STR for the past 2 seasons and are doing really well.

When I was setting up my first listing I created a gmail account with a specific name and used that email for my VRBO & Airbnb accounts. I use this email for record keeping,expenses, and specific communication related to my current unit.

How do you guys handle it when you purchase another unit? Do you add this new listing to your existing vrbo/Airbnb accounts? Do you create a new email and platform accounts specific to each property?

I could always create a new gmail account for the new property just to communicate with guests but still have the listing under the original accounts.

Thanks in advance!

Kyle

All your communications is logged in VRBO and Airbnb for each customer. I use this when communicating, but it also goes to my one gmail account.
