I'm surprised by some of the responses here about how people like VRBO more than AirBNB.

We have a member round table discussion on Fridays at 9 am cst.And we have a calendar of events with events from area landlord groups and member meetups.While we are still on zoom we do try to find ways to still be able to connect and talk with each other so our events are not all just another webinar with people talking at you.Hope to connect.

I just need to be pointed in the right direction because I get deals in my inbox from people I communicate with all over the country.

Right of the get go that tells me many other people have looked at it and did not offer the asking price. 

People who fail to keep good tenants and turn over every year, they lose. 

Most people in this situation do not want a part time job. 

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

I've found deals in local online groups on Facebook, simply asking people for what I want. 

To me the only thing that is working now is partnering with people who have their own salaried teams.  

Please let me know as well if you are starting a group for people on Long Island.
