This is a great platform to meet other investors, realtors, lenders, etc. that can help build a team around you.

Since you're not keen on long-term tenants, STR on platforms like AirBnB is a great option, especially given Carlsbad's allowance for STRs in the Coastal Zone.

Buildium has been a fairly robust platform, helping us grow from 4 to 26 units over the past 4 years.

It has been pretty popular for investors and I have invested a ton here as well.

Contrary to popular belief, this is not set because I believe it will give me a higher return.

@Noah Bacon and @Mindy Jensen - can we figure out what this guy was doing on BiggerPockets and see if any patterns emerged that will allow us to flag if a future bad actor is attempting to do this kind of crap on our platform? 

He sent a message on the platform apologizing and said that he was retaliating against me for presenting camera evidence of him breaking our house rules. 

What I do is use my property management software (MagicDoor) to just write one listing and they automatically post it across all the main platforms. 

While I'm not certain about your current real estate objectives, I can assure you that this is an excellent platform to enhance your knowledge and connect with others in the field.

Typically when I see failed Facebook ad accounts it’s due to improper implementation rather than the platform itself.
