Thank you BP for allowing me to use such a great platform.

If you are able to find a property manager who simply looking for their monthly rent, and you have done your homework for potential income for AirBnBs in that location (as well as being familiar with the ordinances in your area), you can negotiate a clause to be able to list on STR platforms. 

@Yonah WeissThey help you build credibility on the platform. 

We are working on a platform that will allow Realtors to be the Business Champion, for their local school. 

You have to be accredited to use their platform - chances are that's a non-starter for a lot of us here

I am happy with it but any opinion I have should be discredited somewhat simply because I have never used competing software platforms (Buildium, Appfolio, TenantCloud, Yardi, etc) so I really don't have much to compare it to. 

If so, what is the service or platform that you use? 

Members of Illinois REIA can go to Scott W and his crowd funded lending platform.

In terms of range and area your talking about own, type of homes or hoods, you can easily tell from these platforms just using simple sampling method with your eyeballs what the range is.

I think leveraging a platform such as a blog, social media, website or anything else to create a personality or brand for your real estate biz is becoming more and more important.
