Im open to conventional financing or seller financing.To find properties, you can network with local agents and brokers, join local real estate investment groups, use online platforms like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Redfin, send direct mail campaigns, drive for dollars, network with property managers, and explore seller financing.Good luck!

My local Airbnb rep said the algo does consider cleaning fee too so try to be lower or even with your competition. 

Local is always better.
