Getting Started: Rental Properties

TIDY offers many great features for rental properties. We know that managing the operations at one or more properties is hard, and TIDY offers a variety of tools to make that easy. The main way we recommend getting started for rental properties is:

  1. Add 1 or More Addresses. Add one or more rental property locations that you want us to help with.
  2. Set up Automatic Booking Sync. Connect all your accounts (AirBnb, VRBO, and others) to automatically sync your calendar with TIDY and request bookings automatically. This is free to use.
  3. Add any existing Pros/Vendors. Add anyone you already use
  4. Set up To-Do Lists. Generate visual To-Do lists of exactly how you want your properties turned over. This is free to use.
  5. Book anything you need. If you need any appointments that weren’t gotten in the first sync, just book them.

Example: Charlie’s Property Management Company.

Before TIDY: 

Charlie manages 4 properties he lists on AirBnb. Everytime between bookings, he has to call up one of 2 vendors he uses for job: Ann and Barbara. He leaves voicemails for each of them, and they call him back later to confirm an appointment time.  About 10% of the time, they don’t show up at all. Tracking their progress requests lots of texts and calls.

Charlie decides to use TIDY.

After TIDY: Charlie adds his 4 addresses to TIDY. Then he connects his AirBnb account, adds his 2 existing vendors (Ann and Barbara) and uses other Pros on TIDY as a backup in case they can’t make it. He adds a To-Do list to show each person exactly what to do.

Now when someone books, TIDY automatically checks if a job is needed. It requests Ann or Barbara first. Ann accepts by tapping in her app, and the booking is all set. She uses TIDY to track her work so Charlie knows what is going on.

All this was free to Charlie, and he saved about an hour of time calling and following up with the whole process.
