Hi everyone,Last week, I was pulling rent comps to prepare renewal offers using my typical process: starting on Ręntometēr or Rēntcast for a rough idea of recently removed comps, then manually researching on platforms like Zillow, Apartments.com, and Facebook Marketplace.

and also like what I do Utilize as STRs: You furnish and list these properties as short-term rentals (STRs) on platforms like Booking.com or Airbnb.Generate Cash Flow: The higher rental income from STRs, compared to long-term rentals, allows you to cover your mortgage/lease payments, generate positive cash flow, and potentially have funds left over for further investments.Positive Cash Flow: STRs often generate higher rental income than long-term rentals, allowing you to cover your costs and potentially profit.Tax Advantages: You can often deduct expenses related to your STR business, such as mortgage interest, property taxes, and maintenance costs.

We also had a rash of fraud which caused us to have to change our verification processes for off platform bookings. 

A month ago I added converted 1-bed and 2-bed listings to our platforms to help with weekdays.

For these lead types at least even the big brokers and prominent software platforms are buying either directly or indirectly from the gov department creating the records.

This platform on Bigger Pockets is a great source of information where you can ask questions and also learn from other investor questions.

This is truly an excellent platform for networking and establishing connections.

Hey Robert, What platform are you using for emails?

It's awesome to have hybrid agent/investors on the platform like you, and to see the value that you add to the forums gives back to you, in turn, as an investor and as an agent. 

This allows you to work with your chosen professionals while still benefiting from Lula's platform for coordination and communication."
