EchoPM
Residential property at dusk

Built for the pivot

One platform for listings, applications, e-sign, rent, and work orders — so you're not duct-taping STR tools onto LTR operations.

STR → long-term rentals

Quit the turnover treadmill. Run real leases.

When you pivot from short-term guests to long-term tenants, the work changes — applications, screening, leases, rent collection, and maintenance need a real operating system, not a patchwork of spreadsheets and guest apps.

The pivot

Short-term hosting rewards speed and constant turnover. Long-term rentals reward clear records, compliant screening, signed leases, and rent you can audit — month after month.

From guest stays to signed leases

Long-term rentals need durable records — not a calendar that resets every checkout. Publish a real listing, run a real application, and sign a lease your team can point to months later.

What changes

Different business. Different tooling.

The STR stack optimizes calendars and guest messages. Long-term operations need durable records that connect the unit, the lease, the ledger, and maintenance — in one place.

Short-term rhythm

Guest turnover mode

  • Calendar churn, pricing swings, and last-minute turnovers
  • Guest messaging scattered across platforms and inboxes
  • Cleaning and ops coordination that resets every few nights

Long-term operations

Lease-first mode

  • Applications and leases tied to the unit — not a one-off booking
  • Screening and consent flows your team can rerun with clear records
  • Rent, deposits, and maintenance on the same lease record

From listing to
collected rent — in one flow

EchoPM connects the steps STR hosts suddenly need when they go long-term: publish the unit, run applications, sign the lease, and collect rent without retyping data at every handoff.

01

List and publish

Create the property and unit on echopm.app. Applicants see a real listing — not a vacation calendar.

02

Screen and sign

Run applications, order screening when you're ready, and e-sign the lease. Everyone works from the same record.

03

Collect and maintain

Tenants pay rent online. Maintenance requests stay on the lease — not in a guest chat thread.

Why EchoPM

What you get when you stop improvising

Operators making the STR → LTR shift usually need fewer tools, not more — they need one trustworthy system for the slow, unglamorous core of rentals.

Annual leases, not nightly blocks

Lease terms, move-in dates, and renewals live next to the unit — built for 12-month operations, not weekend guests.

Real applications & e-sign

Structured apply flows and electronic leases — so you're not emailing PDFs back and forth after every inquiry.

Rent collection on the ledger

Online rent, autopay, and payment history tied to the lease. Finance can audit without screenshot archaeology.

Maintenance that sticks around

Work orders stay with the unit and tenant for the life of the lease — not lost when the guest checks out.

Owner-ready reporting

Optional owner views for payouts and statements when you manage for others — without a separate portal per property.

Ava for repeat tasks

Ask grounded questions and run safe actions inside the manager app — scoped to what you can already see and do.

FAQ

Common questions from hosts making the switch

Honest answers about pivoting from short-term to long-term operations on EchoPM.

Talk to our team
Is EchoPM only for large property managers?

No. EchoPM works for independent operators and small portfolios making the STR → LTR shift. You pay a straightforward per-unit platform fee when units are live — see pricing on our property managers page.

Can I still use my STR channel manager?

EchoPM is built for long-term rental operations — applications, leases, rent, and maintenance. Many operators keep STR tools for any remaining short-term inventory while running LTR units on EchoPM.

Do tenants pay to apply on EchoPM?

EchoPM does not charge tenants application fees to apply on the platform. When you order tenant screening, managers pay by default unless you configure otherwise.

How fast can I get my first unit live?

Most operators can create an organization, add a property, and publish a unit in one session. Our onboarding walks you through Connect and your first listing.

What if I'm not ready to leave spreadsheets yet?

Start with one unit on EchoPM for applications and the lease, then expand rent collection and maintenance when you're comfortable. The goal is one record — not a big-bang migration.
