I used to reply, talk in DM about what we have, etc, but at this point I've given up. 95% of the people we'd talk to about leasing our properties so they could STR never moved forward (and most of those, we just never heard back from)
So now when someone reaches out, we ask a few questions first. Starting with 'send us a list of your current portfolio and a bio'. Since we've started asking that question, we've got no replies. And that's saved us a ton of time.
We still have about 60 units leased to people who do STR. About 15 different operators.
@Shardea Miller My advice to you would be this: Put together some type of presentation, designed to 'sell' people on the idea of allowing you to rent their property for airbnb. Once you have your pitch, look for properties that are for lease by individual owners. Reach out to them with your pitch. If they follow up with you, follow up back. It's a numbers game. If only 1 in 10 will even reply, you have to make sure you're latching onto those leads hard.
To crush it in RE , you just have to be better than most. The good news is, most people are quite lazy. So it's not hard to stand out.
