HUDuser.org is great for vacancy rates, but cross-referencing with local market reports is important for more context.For job diversity and employers, LinkedIn or regional economic development websites often provide insights.

Some custodians may offer access to platforms with investment opportunities, as well.

What worked for me was listing on multiple platforms - Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and even local community bulletin boards.

  (2) Variable cost: platform fees from Airbnb and VRBO, lodging/hotel/transit or whatever pass-through tax your local AHJ requires, cleaning fee, cost of replacement for consumables, repair and maintenance, etc. 

I have been on this platform since college.

You'll lose rent while property is vacant, and you'll probably have to do more repairs to attract a new tenant than you would to keep the current tenant.Is all that worth requiring a tenant to use one specific payment platform?

Hi All,I’m excited to join this platform and connect with other professionals in the real estate industry.

For example, learning how to navigate CRMs like HubSpot or property management platforms like Buildium could be a big plus.

Is that something you're offering on other platforms as well? 

The behavior is a bit off, but not surprising for a mom & pop landlord.We tell our residents exactly what we need from them for the application.
