I'm not a huge fan because of the costs and risks of the program, but I've used it for customers in certain situations where it made sense.

They want more online leads, but I'm quickly learning their bigger issue is outbound sales & marketing, i.e. understanding who their customers (and referral partners) are and engaging them meaningfully.I've been lurking on BP and researching their build areas and it seems like their primary clients are developers and investors, not individuals building their dream vacation home (though they are part of the mix).Their value prop is dollar efficiency and speed.

Now taking note of the answers I’m going to look into creating a custom app on Podio that handles that type of workflows.

.- Technology: use of data analytics that can lead to more informed investment decisions, and integrating innovative technologies to improve operational efficiencies as well as improving tenant & investor experience- Strong Investor Relations: consistent, ongoing and transparent communication and educational opportunities for investors, including a peek behind the curtains inviting them to the office for events and internal investment committee meetings- Customer-Centric Services: customized solutions to meet specific needs and interests of various investors and full-service offerings from brokerage, property management, leasing, to funds/syndication opportunitiesWhat else did I miss?

Best advice I can give is to connect with an honest team on the ground that will go over all the pros and risks of the marketplace so you can get a clear picture of Detroit. 

As that will at least help folks that you reach out to know that you are a real person, with a picture and professional bio.

So I use Guesty for Hosts and I will concur that their customer service is TERRIBLE.
