But, unlike most LTR software (where a handful of big players such as Appfolio, Buildium, and Propertyware dominate), there are dozens of PMS systems that help you 1) create a direct booking site of your own, but also 2)"syndicate" your listings to other "Channels" such as Airbnb and VRBO, and 3) sync your calendar across all of the different booking options.

However, my investments line up pretty close with the “model portfolios” these two advisors publish, with the exception that if the stock isn’t at least 20% below NAV I won’t invest; I prefer REITs that easily cover their dividends with their earnings from rents and pay 6% or more, are internally managed where the top corporate players own a significant amount of stock, and where their property holdings can be  easily valued (not so easy with many “speciality” REITs.

This thread is a bit old but the DIY/automated online options have evolved since, with some new players (including SegWize) entering the market...as well as some tech-enabled but still fully-engineered options like Segtax.I think the expansion of DIY options and the benefits of cost seg is great for investors of smaller properties, but I would highly suggest speaking with a tax advisor/CPA first to put together a plan and ensure you can actually use the additional depreciation first!
