Quote from @Joel Case:
This question has been answered thousands of times, but I use Pricelabs for pricing and TurnoverBnB combined with Hospitable for cleaning. Not sure if there is anything for what you are calling syndication, Booking.com imported a lot of stuff from the AirBnB ad, but VRBO I had to do it on my own.
Experience with Hospitable and Pricelabs has been good, TurnoverBnB has been a bit buggy for me.
Thanks, Joel. Good to know that pricelabs has been great!

Hi there,
I have my first STR property almost ready for show time in November. Any recommendation on tool(s) to use for
1) dynamic pricing and syndicating the rental to the major STR platforms such as AirBnB, VRBO, Booking.com, etc
2) collaboration with property/cleaning crew
Follow-up question is how was your experience using these tools?
Post: How much do you typically raise your rent per year?

Hi there,
I just started my real estate rental journey early this year with a condo being rented out to a couple. We're almost at the end of the lease and after that, they'll be going month-to-month (as per the 1 year leas agreement).
How much % do homeowners/property manager typically increase rent when lease term is due?
I notice that on average, that's about 3-5%, but similar properties in my neighborhood are now listed for 8-10% of what my tenants are paying.

I'm hoping to be a hands-off STR owner so was interested in Evolve and/or RedAwning's services to manage bookings and optimizing my property's listings on multiple booking sites such as AirBnB, VRBO, Booking.com, etc.
I already have a local property manager and cleaning service. But would like to get people's opinions regarding their experience working with these two companies.
Thank you!
