Your best bet is to ask for referrals from professionals in the space: realtors, other investors, this forum, FB groups, etc.

I just wasn't sure how you'd exactly bypass Airbnb or VRBO platforms. 

These platforms include RentRedi, Stessa, Avail, Innago, Apartments.com (formerly Cozy), and TenantCloud.Pretty much every platform mentioned contains the features you are going to need.

I know Shopify typically is a more commerce base platform.

I'd stay on platform.

Hi, I just started using BiggerPockets and am excited to learn about the community and all the resources available. I'm particularly excited to find others in my area and start to attend some meetup groups!

I continue to see new platforms promise ease of use, lightning-fast approvals, and streamlined processes.

When you have employees promoting the platform like it is the best platform ever and free accounting services, it was going to go down sooner or later.Pretty sure their other services are going to go down shortly.Baselane is offering assistance I believe, but they are just like Azibo.

Paid platforms often offer additional features like market analytics, off-market property leads, and filters for investor-specific criteria, giving them a leg up over free options.Exactly, most platforms have to offset cost somewhere because of how expensive it is to keep the data up to date.

Has anyone bought from the platform?
