Keith, I started out house hacking in 2014 using the Airbnb platform. 

I was assigned to them through the team’s consultation platform.

It's a full service banking platform - just like you'd have at any other bank with interest bearing accounts, the ability to set up multiple accounts and sub-accounts, issue virtual credit cards and more.  

It also gave us a platform to raise capital.2 things you should always be doing in real estate, sourcing deals and sourcing capital, and an online presence will help with both.Pick a platform to start and focus your efforts there.Gino

STRs have platforms that do much of the heavy lifting to advertise your unit once you've set everything up.

The new owners got serious about monetizing the platform and it has progressed accordingly.

Thank you all for all the information and knowledge you folks share in this platform, found out about bigger pockets through a podcast and I was like whaaaattt, these folks know what they are talking about I can learn here so much.

because it seems with most other sms platforms there is a per sms fee, however i cant find anything about a per message fee for lc!

To market yourself effectively, focus on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, which are great for reaching clients, especially first-time buyers.

Airbnb went heavily into on-platform Experiences in 2016 and realized quickly it had more challenges than expected.
