Last minute cancellation during off-season hurt as there is 99% chance we do not rebook when they cancel 36 hours before check-in.You can test this very easily.

On paper, new construction seems “easy” to self-manage:• Lower maintenance (initially)• Builder warranties in place• Fewer system failures• Higher tenant demandBut I’ve seen some tradeoffs too:• Warranty coordination can still be time-consuming• Lease structuring matters more in A/B class neighborhoods• Tenant screening expectations are higher• Rent pricing has to be dialed in, new builds often sit if overpriced• Investors scaling to multiple properties hit bandwidth issues quicklyIn Birmingham, Huntsville, and Atlanta, we’re seeing strong demand for newer inventory, but also more competition in certain submarkets.For those who’ve owned new builds for 1–3 years:Did you start self-managing and switch later?

My team and I have been testing a few options since January and the favorite by far has been Monarch Money.  

You might test a more noticeable price drop to get some traction, or like others mentioned, offer a concession like a free half-month or a gift card to bring in attention.Photos and listing.

@Andrew Bosco - If you're doing a "test run" with a partner and hope to scale over time with him/her I think it would make sense on a smaller deal before you tackle bigger deals together.

I like to test people out on really small 1 day projects first before letting them do bigger projects. 

On your deal analysis, do stress tests. 

Let me know if you're open to testing it

For emergencies (fire, water, structure) they should call Latchel who then, in theory (again, never had to test it yet...thankfully!)

Hospitable saves me so much time and headache from juggling multiple different listing apps.
