 Michael,

How is the pricelabs tool going?   I am in the trial and considering going with them.  Any issues?

 John, 

Did you try PriceLabs yet?   I agree...  Its the only drawback I have with Wheelhouse..I am currently using them for my AirBnB listings but i then have to manually try to sync my pricing on VRBO/HA and its never accurate.  What do you do to keep all sites in sync?

 Mike,

Did you ever find a software that does this? 

Here is a quick analysis of a few of the STR vacation rental platforms that I have been looking at. The pricing is reflecting under 5 properties in most cases:

I have some vacation rentals that I self manage and in an attempt to determine the best platform to automate this effectively, I created a spreadsheet with different sites and prices.   Here ya go.  

Thank you for your help!  this is fantastic!   much appreciated.  

I am sure this has been covered (if so, please feel free to reference the forum).   I couldn't exactly find what I am looking for.  

The Scenario: 

I self manage my vacation rentals and looking to automate as many aspects as possible. 

Question:

I have read about Evolve (10%) and other platforms but would prefer to manage the pricing / calendars, etc myself if I can do so effectively enough to "make more money" than outsourcing it.   

I have my calendars from AirBnB, Booking.com, HomeAway and VRBO sync'd and integrated effectively but am having trouble with the "rate structure" and determining how to maximize the competitive scenario to capture bookings effectively.   What do people use?  I couldn't get "wheelhouse" to work and found some of the other tools to be ineffective and the smart pricing on AirBnB just seemed way too low, as we just renovated our unit and it is "nicer" than the others out there.   Thoughts?  

Thanks for the help
