Hi! I thought this was very informative, but would have loved to see a chart indicating what PMS offers what in comparison. You are clearly knowledgeable about all the resources, a consolidated view and recommendation would have made this video really valuable.

[melodyn]

What would you recommend for only 1 property? Or would not recommend any?

[NuelGames]

If I only need multi-calendar, what do you suggest for 22 listings?

[robroman]

Can I be honest? The music with the clapping element, it was annoying and worked against your fast cuts, creating a noisy, slightly disjointed presentation....sorry.

[lfran]

Great video! Thank you for such good tips to help in the process of deciding. I have one property with two individual rooms for rent and I am not sure how to go about setting it up. I looked into Lodgify, but you can not do bookings for multiple room types. Do you know what platform is best for a property with multiple room types available to book? Or would two rooms mean I have to set them up as two properties on PMS sites?

Looking forward to some great content 👌! 😁

Great video Snowden, but the recommended lock (7:15), please?

[JuanAlvarez-gfdd]

[pavelgerasimov]

what do you use for automated messages for cleaners? great video!

Hello, I just wanted to say I really appreciated the value this video brought to point out key components to look for, I was wondering which PMS software you would recommend if I collect commission per rental but I also manage the properties so the tools for managers are important but I also need something cost efficient as opposed to the high fee some of them charge per rental listing. I would really appreciate any feedback or recommendations on this scenario, love your videos. Thanks anyways :)

Hi, I really love your videos. I'm a Short Term Rental Virtual Assistant and Airbnb Co-Host and your videos have helped me so much. Please can you do a review for Beds24.

What would you recommend for a property manager currently with 3, with direct booking integration on website, and we are growing. We are between Hostfully & Hostaway. Having a hard time choosing.

[danadao]

What would you recommend for 4 properties?

[sage]

Thanks for the info. Do you have any suggestions for a way or app so that I can keep my commission as a manager and the owner gets paid automatically without having to do it manually every time?

[joshuafreeman]

Hey, you mentioned that you are looking for a PMS that has better reporting. We use guesty with advanced analytics that seems to have a fair bit. I was wondering, what is missing in your opinion for reoting on PMS software? Are you able to share that manual sheet with me at all? We are building our own PMS so would love to add some features you think are lacking

Cheers
Josh

Is Hospitable a PMS? Your opinion on it ? I own and manage 3 properties.

[jackiedaley]

I have a question about pricing. I am about to open two units along the C&O Canal bike trail. There are two separate floors in a 3 story old building. The 2nd floor has 4 bedrooms. I want to price based upon how many bedrooms will be used. This is becuase there is much more laundry and higher cleaning fees based upon how many beds must be washed and cleaned. Can you recommend a paltform with a pricing model I can use?

[amadern]

Loved this video
Where is the simplified pricing video ?
I also missed the recommend lock link
I’ll be contacting you tomorrow about it anyway, because I think you will be lots of value to my listings. Can’t wait !

how do you track guests remotely as a co-host to see how many people got in the house? are you asking homeowner to give you security cameras password?
