Finding a realtor that specializes in airbnb will be next to impossible. It can be hard enough finding a realtor with education in investing. You'd be better off looking for a realtor who has worked with vacation rentals. 

I have an airbnb property and I love it. It makes significantly more money and with the systems I have set up does not take too much additional work. That is for my region however. The amount an airbnb property can make varies heavily even within parts of a city let alone by state. 

As for occupancy rates you can get a rough idea what that will be. Hop on airbnb, put in your area with no dates, then hit search. Look at houses with the same bedroom count in the same condition as yours within a few miles radius. Look at their calender and see how many days they are booked. This is a ROUGH estimate as that number can be misleading due to them requiring 2 days after a booking to clean, them blocking off days that aren't booked for other reasons, etc.

Fiverr can be great, or it can be absolutely horrible. It is very varried. If you only need something done every once in a while it's a good place to go. If you need something on a more consistent basis I'd recommend hiring a freelancer. Somewhere like upwork.com. It is much more beneficial in many ways. 

If you're looking for a logo or something of that nature 99designs is something I highly recommend. You submit your request and multiple people submit designs. You pay for the one you pick. 

You can embed a form from REImobile onto an investor carrot site (or any other site) or integrate using zapier. As for a direct integration with REImobile by investor carrot I don't think so at this time.

It really depends on what you want to do with it.

Welcome! Tell us more about yourself. Do you own rentals, or do flips? What areas? What are you looking for here on the forums?

For each "script" set up a workspace in Podio.

Have one called inbound calls and add data fields for all the information you want. Then as a description for that field write out part of the script. 

Ex. Instead of having the field titled "Address" then a form field, have the field titled "Hello, thanks for calling us, what is the address of the property?"

Do that for each form field and it will be a script your VA can go in, easily read, and enter data. Every time.

Then for different scripts on outbound calls set up different workstations and follow the same process. 

Make sure you have the legal rights to mail to those properties or to even sell their information. Yes, even if you're just selling addresses. 

If you want the simplest way to do it then set up a wix site and slap on a PayPal payment button.

If you want to allow the buyer to sort the list by area, list type (foreclosure, taxes, etc) and charge them a unique price for how many leads they want, that will require more work and probably a custom solution. 

If you want the process to be automated, meaning when they buy the list is automatically sent, that will also require more work. You might be able to get around it by using zapier.

Thought I'd reach out and say hi. I'm 21 and own a large rental in old Louisville and currently have three houses under contract to wholesale and working on more.

I put down about 4k in total on the 200k home. I say that to show you can get in without a ton of money and age does not matter. House hacking is a great way to get started and I highly encourage it.

If you need any help feel free to reach out. 

Odd, I didn't get a keyword alert for Louisville Kentucky. Anyways sounds interesting I'll be there.

Great idea. I'm looking forward to this. 

Brett's last meet up he pulled a market report for each of the major areas. Very interesting data. I'll see if I can post that on here to kick things off.

I'd go to YouTube and look at videos titled "Podio for real estate" and find one specific to wholesaling. Even if you're not a wholesaler, if you're collecting enough leads to need Podio that's the flow you will want. And of course you can tailor it to your needs. That's how I learned and highly recommend it. I'll see if I can link the actual videos.
