Quote from @Zachary Deal: may be worth just handling all bookings through Airbnb or VRBO to add some level of protectionIf booking outside these platforms, we use KeyCheck to run background and credit checks on tenants, but we may switch to Rent Redi as they collect the tenant's photo ID for you as well. 

It could be worth reaching out to them directly or checking out platforms where you can list your notes for sale.

I realized that my property management contract states that I'm paid 20% of gross revenue, but in fact, I pay the cleaners their fee first (I mark it up a little on my OTA to factor for platform fees) and then I take my 20% out of the remaining balance. 

I would NOT recommend this company to my worst enemy and I hope that I can prevent others from being scammed by WealthAbility by posting my personal experience on as many forums, websites, platforms as possible and by filing complaints to every agency out there that deals with consumer fraud.

I can't say how it compares to the other platforms since I haven't used them.

The issue I find is that when I go to list my units, which are clean and moderately upgraded apartments in Little Havana and Allapattah I literally have 70 applicants in 24hrs via facebook marketplace or through the apartment rental platform my property management software interfaces with (like Apartments.com etc).So when I have 70 people lining up with first, last and deposit with no other middleman or agency impeding the process or requiring inspections or causing delays or requesting additional paperwork be filled out where is my incentive to go the section 8 route?

Enjoy the platform!

Hello Jordan,There are a few local meetups that occur each month or so and can be found here.Eventbrite & meetup.com also post regular RE meetups although I believe the quality is a little lower on those platforms when compared to BP meetups. 

Marketing a property effectively becomes solely your responsibility, requiring you to explore various platforms for visibility, which might not reach as wide an audience as a professional's network would.

I am just starting on this platform so I appreciate that everyone here talks the same shop:).
