Especially, when you add the other companies Zillow owns - Hotpads and Trulia.FB Marketplace is almost a waste of time in our Metro Detroit market as 95+% of inquires we never hear back from.

Quote from @John Mason: Christian this may help give more perspectiveshttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/925/topics/1145785-begi...Also maybe a good idea to touch base with Property Management companies and Realtors whodo MTR placements, I know that you have to pay them a  fee but 85 %  is better than 0% , am I right?  

I am a student in NYC, and have been working towards starting a wholesale company in the city, mainly focusing on servicing residential properties in Queens, BK, and LI.

Networking with other investors at local REIA is a great way to do that and also a great way to meet realtors, wholesalers, contractors, inspectors, property management companies and anything in between. 

So, while their insurance company covered us, it didn't cover the owner!

I spend a lot of my time making sure my company is a part of that housing impact, so feel free to reach out if you want to know more.

The 4 I've talked to are: Blue Gate Capital, Easy Street, Bombora, and Mortgage Calculator Company. 

Lease to a Property Management CompanyPartner with a management company that handles the STR or corporate rental for a predictable income with minimal hassle.

So we moved forward with the claim and a mitigation company to address the damage. 

Make sure to check company reviews and educate yourself on the difference between checkbook IRA and Custodial SDIRA.
