Quote from @Justin Miller: Airbnb and VRBO's automated systems actively scan messages for external links, especially those leading to sites where direct booking is possible.Even if the link points only to your Guidebook page, if that page is hosted on your direct booking website and is "one click" away from a pricing or booking page, the platforms consider it an attempt to solicit off-platform bookings, which violates their Terms of Service.

The goal is to automate payment reminders, late fee notices, and bulk messages, without paying for features you’ll never use.One great option for small landlords is Innago.

There's something special about face-to-face interactions and handwritten messages that tech often can't replicate.That said, I think the biggest potential is harnessing AI to enhance relationships—not replace them.

AI is just the latest tech tool.So, they'll be good uses of it and bad.Just like the internet, PMC software, PMC support software, etc..Personally, I think the best uses will be:1) Answering repetitive owner & tenant questions- Will actually provide more human-like responses once "programmed" properly.2) Responding to tenant prospects too lazy to actually read property postings, so they call, email or text repetitive questions.3) Enhancing followup tasks- Will actually provide more human-like responses once "programmed" properly.4) Make data analysis & aggregation MUCH easier!

This dynamic protects and can even enhance your returns.🔄 Resilience to Market ShiftsBasic housing demand doesn't disappear—it simply shifts.

Focus on these key categories to maximize your property's appeal and ROI, ensuring every investment contributes to a top-performing listing.Outdoor LivingMust have potential for high-impact features like fire pits, hot tubs, dining areas, or outdoor games to significantly boost appeal.Views & ProximityProperties with desirable views or close proximity to water, nature, or main attractions offer an enhanced guest experience.Premium Interior FeaturesPotential for dedicated game rooms, high-speed Wi-Fi, or comfortable dedicated workspaces to cater to diverse guest needs.Easy ParkingAdequate and convenient parking for the expected guest group size is critical for convenience and securing 5-star reviews.Garage to Game Room ConversionIf driveway parking is plentiful, converting a garage into a functional game room or extra living space offers amazing added value.Noise & Light AbatementEnsuring quiet enjoyment of the property through noise reduction measures enhances guest comfort and prevents issues with neighbors. 

Turn time is also important to help enhance offers where seller needs to close in less than 30 days!

I've marketed on several platforms, notably Zillow, apartments.com, FB marketplace, amongst others and have boosted my profile to enhance visibility.

In fact, it is likely to backfire by creating very significant extra hurdles (like double-entry bookkeeping and commingling prevention) and very significant extra costs (professional level bookkeeping and possibly the need to file separate partnerships tax returns).Allegedly, LLCs could enhance your asset protection, but not being  an attorney I cannot comment on it.
