I cannot find the article but something like 50% of guests using STR platforms are looking for pet friendly. 

Make sure to factor in all expenses, including property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and property management costs.Once you've found a suitable property that meets your criteria, make an offer and move forward with the purchase process.

Is this a platform you use personally for running comps? 

Launching a new platform in April that will democratize real estate investing education, information and lending. 

I had a problem a couple of years ago with one of the platforms (Booking).

Here's a chart on 90066 I generated from my tool under Market Stats > Sales Data > Specific Zip Code:- My above chart (more available) shows the Avg Renovated $/sf (High) over time in this Zip Code, something completely different than charts/providers based on Averages/Medians only, like every other platform (RedFin Below, https://www.redfin.com/news/data-center/):- Can't select smaller locations such as City or Zipcode for their $/sf data, so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.- Can set Zip Code for Median Sale Price data, but again it's the median/avg so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.Then if that looks decent, I'll run Sales Comps, and get a quick summary of some key metrics based on those comps.

I have been active on this platform for quite some time now and I am so grateful for the business relationships I have created.

fix-it-all (joint compound with some additives) is not suitable for exterior at allYes it will wick in water as the paint deteriorates, and cause more rot, and keeping a good coat of paint on it won't be enough long-term in many/most climates.bondo (polyester auto body resin) is a cheap-ish "alternative", although harder to get detail work just right and not really all that suitable anyway (maybe ok with a good epoxy / primer, perhaps?).

We use Buildium to manage our properties, and we require all tenants to pay through that platform.

It is funny as the OTAs are trying to get people to stay on platform, but are giving everyone every reason to go off platform.
