Totally did not expect this many replies than you. 

Would any of you like to volunteer to teach me how to read all the numbers on these rent rolls??

Google has an excellent calendar. Drop you airbnb and vrbo calendar URLs into a google calendar and give your cleaner the password. Never bother with it again.

Used to be decent for the calendar feature. They're trying to make money off finding you a cleaner but it doesn't work in my market. Use facebook marketplace or the Enemy Method. Enemy Method

Rent average is $600. All but 2 units occupied. C class. 1965. Owner pays water. 

What purchase price makes this worth looking at? 

Also... any experience converting to metered water? How do I know if it's even possible? 

Thanks!

@Gloria C. I don't believe anyone that hangs out here is in that market. Vegas is NOT STR friendly. Doesn't mean Reno is the same but that's the extent of my knowledge lol

Spend 4 hours reading the forum and hit the Vote button for me :)

@Nicole Vincent Airdna is the Rentometer of STR. It's ok if you know what you're doing but I like to do it the old fashioned way.

IGMS 

YourPorter

SmartBnb

Ownerrez

Seem to be the most popular. Currently using YP. I've also used IGMS for a long period. They're very similar.

@Ryan Proffit.

You’re directly integrating YP to Airbnb.

YP iCal link gets imported to VRBO under Calendar/Reservations/Import Export 

Did this off the top of my head cause I’m on my phone but I think I nailed it

@Angeline Rebottaro 

Airbnb is offering a covid special cleaning situation which will likely push some folks to your listing but you've got to block a day between bookings (or before and after depending on how you look at it). Doesn't work for me. I'm too booked to have empty days. 

My properties were professionally cleaned before covid and they're professionally cleaned now. Not doing anything different and see no need, but I'm also 97% occupied year round.
