 I appreciate the insight. They charge 13% (10% commission 3% payment processing fee). We are a property management company utilizing a PMS, so the cleaning/pest/etc coordination isn't something we are too concerned about.

The advantage to us is that they put our units on all the different booking channels (vrbo, airbnb, expedia, etc) for us, and they handle things like chargebacks, guest complaints, etc. 

The major downside is that the guests don't have a way to directly reach us, unless we directly reach out to them first. The properties also end up slightly more expensive, as we would be marking it up before handing them to Red Awning, and then Red Awning marks them up a second time to pay the booking channels commission. This ends up making the property 20% or so more expensive, without us actually seeing any of that money.

At the moment we have one property live, up and running, with several more being added over the next month or two. Any advice you could give to us would be very appreciated!

Good morning,

We are a smaller (looking to scale) PMC in Central Florida. We are getting our PMS hooked up with all of the different booking channels when we arrived upon Red Awning. They talk a good game, and I'm looking for anyone who has experience working with them, either as a PMC, owner, or guest. As a small team, dealing with one company to handle all of the different booking channels looks very attractive to us, but many reviews online don't seem great.

Any advice?

Pickleball is certainly all the rage right now. Our General Contracting business is putting in several pickleball courts in our area.

 We have been using Streamline for about 5 months now, and it seems to get the job done, but aren't super pleased with it. Have you tried any other PMS software before?

Good morning everyone! My name is Solomon and I work for a startup PMC down here in Central Florida, primarily operating out of the Reunion/Champions Gate area. I've found myself browsing Bigger Pockets more and more for reviews and advice, so figured I might as well get involved!

I'm looking to connect with people in the industry, primarily in the realm of short-term rentals. Particularly around the best usage of the different booking channels and recommendations for getting our name out there and properties booked. We currently have one property up and running, and plan to have about 20 more over the next few months. 

Where's the best place to start on Bigger Pockets? Any advice on scaling our business and the hiccups we will experience along the way is always appreciated!

Thanks!
