Are there any bird dogs out there in Maine or New Hampshire?  Also, are there any out there?  I haven't heard any chatter about bird dogging for a bit and it seemed a few years back that was all I was hearing about.  Bird dogs can be a really valuable resource.

A while back I used Birddogg.net I think it was, they had an app as well, until it ended.  It worked really well, maybe there is something out there like that now?  Anyone else ever use that app or know of something similar to it that is in the market now?

Thanks @David Marshall for the info, this is all very helpful.  I have to ask, if the challenge is the winter months are people having good success renting units in Portland during the summer? I have some in Old Orchard Beach and we take full advantage of June, July, August and even September then we just rent to a tenant from October until May.  Could Portland be similar in that way if using Airbnb?  Especially if we don't want to miss out on vacancy?

Looking to connect with some wholesalers in Maine and even New Hampshire.  Still a bit new to posting so I hope I am placing this in the right place.

Good to know, thanks again!

Thanks for the input @Paul Sandhu .  That's helpful, CL is a great resource and we already do use it to fill in gaps in our short-term rentals.  They are near areas where there is quite a bit going on (a rather larger city for the state).  How often would you say on average out of each month your houses are filled?

Has anyone had any luck with direct mail to purchased vacant list leads?  Different small outlets have them for sale but I am just wondering the success rate people seem to have or if they are not any different than standard absentee owner mailer data.

Looking for some insight from anyone that does year round rentals using Airbnb, Home Away, Flipkey, VRBO, etc.  I currently have a few but only seasonal and I would like to see if anyone in Maine has had success with year-round terms.

Hi Joshua,

Are you looking for single family or multis?

Our company is looking to purchase investment properties to resell in Connecticut and we need an agent that can help us identify areas we should focus on and areas we should not.

Please feel free to PM me.

Hi Everyone,

We currently have vacation rentals that we utilize fully in the summer on vacation sites such as Home Away, FlipKey and Airbnb.  My question is if anyone in the Portland Maine or Southern Maine area has any experience with year-round Airbnb rentals in that market?

We can use airdna.co to find out info but it would be really nice to chat with anyone who has had real experience with year-round Airbnb rentals in Portland so we can gauge what to expect if we move forward.

Thanks.
