I wanted to reach out and share some insights regarding property management tools, especially since you're looking to set the foundation for your operations in this new venture.Transitioning from spreadsheets to dedicated property management software can significantly enhance efficiency.

I even provide my clients and students with a comprehensive property tour checklist that includes all the essential photos they should take.To ensure that you gather all the necessary information during property tours, it's wise to utilize checklists and capex estimators.

Value was created through a comprehensive renovation that addressed both interior and exterior improvements.

Updates included interior finishes, kitchen and bathroom improvements, flooring, paint, and exterior enhancements.

With that, we're looking for homes that only need small cosmetic lifts right now, but may allow for some ADU opportunity or other enhancements further down the line .We currently have about $50k ready to deploy for a downpayment for our first investment, and we will be contacting different lenders to see what our purchasing power is and what different debt products may be offered.

The inputs are comprehensive and it forces you to think through all the expenses.2.

Here's the breakdown of my basic observations after ~2 weeks on each solution: Guesty Lite: - $39/listing/month (unclear if this includes standard 1% commission)- Superior iOS app (faster, locally cached, better organized)- Cleaner guest portal- Targeted to smaller portfolios (1-3) vs Pro (4+) - Clean HUD/dashboard for checkins/reservations- Excellent message automation that links automations in a templated flowchart design (best I've seen)- Awful analytics, similar to GfH (upsell to Guesty Pro)- Dynamic pricing, damage protection, lock management, liability, and outsourced communications (unique) all relatively expensive (aligning to Guesty's overall penchant for chasing ever-expanding upsells)Hospitable:- More third party integrations- Comprehensive analytics- Customizable dashboards are nice - Useful in-app/site help tours- iOS app is effectively a responsible website (slow, uncached, voids iOS design rules)- Messaging rule management can feel cluttered (dozen-plus rules to start?)

Updates included interior finishes, kitchen and bathroom improvements, flooring, paint, and exterior enhancements.

Additionally, collaborating with local nonprofits and support services can enhance your credibility and help streamline resident management.
