We got some limited engagement but no real leads.

Hey @Robert Carmody, we are only on AirBNB and VRBO and they work just fine.I have been reluctant to do a Booking.com listing due to the negative reviews I have heard from other hosts.Booking.com was geared towards hotel stays, which means your STR gets treated like a hotel room.

So here is what I do:1 - Get buyer criteria for what they are looking for (exact criteria)2 - Go source that criteria using data provider3 - Scrub the list and plan a marketing campaign around it (i.e) > Direct Mail > Cold Call > SMS > Online Ads > Social Media, etc4 - Once I get inbound leads coming in.

Sorry to be so negative, just wanted to point out some of the drawbacks of what you are proposing, I hope it is at least a little helpful.

Don’t listen to dooms day people like DAN H (lol just kidding ) but Dan you are so negative in the forums… you know a lot but there is a way! 

That area is desirable and will most likely have negative cash flow for a while.

Ironically its the investors in the layered LLC's who believe they are hidden in the cloaks of secrecy and better protected who end up in  the most costly and drawn out litigation while giving the plaintiff attorneys reason to take a more thorough look under the hood.Keep your LLC ownership simple, carry appropriate insurance, make sure ever vendor you work with carries appropriate insurance and those who perform work functions most likely to lead to liability exposure list you ad additional insured (not merely certificate holder) and it should go without saying, avoid negligent conduct.

Im looking for a text service for SMS blasting, I know batch leads has that specific service attached to the site. just looking for some opinions on which service you like better and why.

To clarify, I had initially put the property under contract but had to back out of the deal due to negative inspection results, specifically related to foundation issues.

They would do no prospecting, lead generation, etc.
