The good wholesalers will have experience, knowledge (provide accurate ARV estimates or at least close), integrity in putting together win-win transactions, and a list of actual real cash buyers ready to buy (or capital/ capital partners to close on the property themselves if they can't find a buyer), so that the seller isn't left in the lurch and harmed by having their property locked up by someone who doesn't actually have any buyers or a clue on how to sell the property, or any money to buy it.

I have talked to a lot of different ones and have found one that I really like because they have been doing it for twenty years and have vertically integrated property management and construction and a construction warehouse for fixes and everyone is on-staff.

I suspect this would happen if various parties were given the ability to ask questions in nearly every application for what this thread touches on - and I have major concerns about integrity (and credibility) issues involved in putting yourself in a position to defend this position if ever challenged. 

If you have an integrated account and receive the inquiry from VRBO, but then book the guest off platform they double their commission rate to 10%. 

I'm an IT Consulting guy by day & RE investor by night so getting into the details of all of the technology offerings, how they integrate, which capabilities overlap/don't, where integrated value sits, etc. exposes my nerdiness/love for this kind of stuff.

I personally recommend working with a CPA who prioritizes integrity and accurate tax return filings, so that if you're ever audited, you won’t face back taxes, penalties, or interest.

This does also include my live revenue manager, which accounts for about $20,000 - so without her about $60k for pure software integrations.

Some of the features I am looking for (most likely there is not 1 single vendor who has all this built-in, but more of a technology stack that integrates nicely)Would something like propstream, carrot, and kixie be powerful enough to get rolling out the gates and still be efficient in your eyes?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a service for property managers that integrates the use of motion activated cameras to monitor self showings or vacant properties?

There are a ton of CRMs out there but we use Zoho for its ease of customization and integrations.2.)
