For outbound, you’ll need to get lists of addresses and tons of data from platforms that pull county records on a daily basis like bathleads and propstream so you can filter those records more easily by potential motivation indicators like foreclosure, eviction, probate, etc.

You might also want to check out local REI groups or virtual events on platforms like Meetup.com.Let’s definitely connect and keep this momentum going!

I'm not too familiar with University Park, but in order to determine if it would make a good Airbnb, you'll want to research other similar properties (how they're priced / how often they're booked) in that area on platforms like Airbnb, VRBO, and Furnished Finder (if you're considering doing 30+ day stays, ie, an 'MTR' as well.) 

We get a lot of requests from guests wanting to book off platform. 

Airbnb is just one of many listing platforms to list your STR.

I have clients that uses different types of platforms.I made Buildium as an accounting platform for one of my clients. 

My apologies Kathleen, I am not on this platform very often.

Also I could be wrong but I think to legally lend in OHIO one needs to be state licensed and NMLS registered.. again could be wrong but I know we are setting up a very narrow niche lending platform there for foreclosing buying and I got recruited because they need my license to be legal.Now for the private folks who only do a few loans and don't hold themselves out as lenders like you obviously do there is usually a carve out.

If STRs prove difficult, platforms like **Furnished Finder** or mid-term rentals might be better options for steady income.

I probably won't book any place that does not have instant booking turned on in the future.If I am not mistaken, instant book is a search criteria on one of the platforms, and if you are not doing that, then your pool of potential customers is smaller by some degree.
