Generally in this day and age its pretty easy to do quick due diligence (google, website, reviews, etc) to determine if a lender is reputable or not.Also - noting look straight from the NewFi websitehttps://newfi.com/dscr-loans/something is definitely off here if you were told you got a DSCR Loan and were required to provide tax returns to "qualify" - someone is not telling you the 100% truth which is certainly a flag to me.

I have a call this week to explore this option for hosts and see how PMSs can make this transition easier.I am in the process of creating a direct booking site and wanted to make sure I was using the best PMS system for me.

What are good websites, resources for this purpose.Please advise

The exception would be a superior website maintained for SEO, IF your investment program is large enough to cover the $5k upfront cost and the $500 per month maintenance for an optimized website. 

One was about VRBO sunsetting their subscription service to new hosts and the other was about them using rate consistency in their rating algorithm.

There is one available on the OREC website.

If so, a quick tip that has worked for me in the past is to just attend some real estate meetups in your area (or host one yourself).
