This video guides short-term rental hosts on how to select the right Property Management Software (PMS) by evaluating pricing, customer service, and functionality. It provides actionable tips to avoid common pitfalls and make an informed decision the first time.

Key insights

  • The Airbnb Preferred Partner designation is not a reliable indicator of a PMS's quality; many excellent tools do not hold this status and should not be a deciding factor.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Falling for 'simplified pricing' or 'host-only fee' structures on Airbnb after connecting a PMS can lead to overpaying; ensure your account remains on the 'Split fee' pricing.

Tools & resources

  • Hostfullytool

    Hostfully is a property management software option for Airbnb hosts, with a potential discount offered.
