It’s a solid option to boost your chances of actually reaching the homeowners you’re targeting.

One thing I can say once I got the system going the business got alot easier, after I automated almost everything I have had the pleasure of rarely going to my airbnb and I am booked 92% of the time, not only did my research pay off I am reaching the numbers I expected and more.

I'm not familiar with Maverick; I have been impressed with (although haven't yet invested through) Norada, which likewise connects investors with turnkey providers in target markets. 

I feel like having some good experts helping me clearly identify best practices and targets for success (instead of guessing) to be extremely helpful. 

I have a house in my target area coming up for auction in Cleveland. 

If you put in an offer at 85% of list price on every decent home on mls in your targeted area, you're going to get a house or two that should only need cosmetic rehab - which you could control the costs better.
