What were the methods you used. 

I JV'd with another person on the 7th to sell it. 2 LTR purchases were the BRRRR method, which were my last two BRRRRs.

This is something i've been trying to define myself as I don't want to rely on the first come first serve method. 

I can attest to these methods first hand.

I am especially interested in learning to master the BRRRR method, but also ready and willing to use traditional methods to build my portfolio.

@Zach Chandler if you are going the self-manage route, which I highly recommend because it’s simple, as @Gerald Pitts mentions, use the Short Term Shop’s ‘Enemy Method’.

By keeping borrowers informed at every stage, this method helps avoid misconceptions.  

Everytime I try to explain my methods to her, she doesn't understand at all what I'm talking about.

They have a nice price point and are one of the easiest to use. 

If you contact zillow through a bunch of ways (they also have social media outlets where you can comment, and that's what we did, in addition to all the other methods of contacting them) my understanding is they eventually do get back to you and are reasonable in resolving matters.
