I use Xero for accounting and Hubdoc for collecting receipts in my vacation rental bookkeeping business.  Both applications are cloud-based.  Tracking in Xero allows you to separate the income and expenses for multiple properties.  With a click of the mouse, you can view reports for your business as a whole or for each property separately.  

 thanks for the suggestion. I've actually looked at Xero before but it seemed to be over my head and more than what i needed. I think I'll go back to it though since it's something I've heard others say as well being the best solution. 

Can you please share your process in Xero?  Are transactions imported automatically from bank accounts? I have a few listings that each have their own bank account/credit cards so hopefully it'll be a smooth process.

Thanks again Ryan.

@Michael Greenberg it is not true that you are only allowed to Nest thermostats per account. You are allowed to home's per account and within each home you can add as many products as you need. I have one for my Airbnb homes and another for my personal residence. my Airbnb homes have 3 Nest thermostats and five Nest outdoor camera so far.

ok I checked it out. As you mentioned @Akash Y. you can't control which frame shows on mobile. Also on desktop there are some performance issues : slow loading and low resolution (inherent to the nature of the gif files). So I am going to wait ...

 I will  be holding off as well. 

I purchased my home in 2010 for 600k and now it's worth 1.1 - 1.2 million. Yes u got lucky in an appreciating market. If you were me would you sell? I have a heloc of 80 % LTV available at any time. I own 3 rental properties currently.

Sorry don't know a designer... But... I'm trying to get into the Seattle market as well. Currently I live across the border in Canada (20 mins from Blaine WA). Send me any homes you're trying to get rid of as I might be interested.

Also want to add this only works for desktop searches of airbnb. The mobile app seems to select a random frame of the gif.

@Akash Y. You are correct, nothing in their Terms against this - smart marketing.  

 that's good. I used http://gifmaker.me and managed to make this work. 

just messing around and it appears airbnb accepts gifs.  so it might be easier than i thought.

is this against any terms? I had a quick look at their terms and don't see anything
