Managing funds for multiple homeowners and property assets in a Short-Term Rental business can be a complicated task. The conventional practice of receiving funds in a single bank account often leads to the mixing of funds and issues related to visibility, transparency, and organization. Clearing offers a powerful solution to address these challenges by introducing Sub balances for efficient fund management. This feature empowers property managers to separate funds and group funds for specific properties and homeowners, providing enhanced control and flexibility over property finances.

Clearing's Sub-Balances revolutionize fund management by offering unparalleled transparency and control over rental property finances. By separating funds with Sub-Balances, property managers can improve the organization of funds, streamline transactions, and ensure owner visibility into the financial management of their specific properties. This feature can serve as an effective tool for efficiently handling working capital for specific Short-Term Rentals and making vendor payments from specific Sub-Balances much easier.
