Many of the OTAs and lead gen sites, like Furnished Finder, are pushing credit card payments. 99.9% of the time I get a message from FF saying 'your tenant would prefer to pay by credit card so activate Stripe now!' 

Just sent you a message^

Good Morning,I am a former Claims Specialist with the Social Security Administration and currently unemployed homeowner who is looking for guidance on how to gain property management experience here in the Central Coast of California.My wife is the only one working at the moment, so times are tough to say the least.We're looking to rent out a portion of our home in order to save up enough money to purchase our second home (or multi-family unit), rent that out, and begin to expand our portfolio. 

So, I guess I will hope social security pays something in 20 years and the stock market is still there when I grow old.BTW, I am an experienced investor, I know I can dump everything in the stock market but I am hesitant to do that.

Feel free to direct message me with more details so I can better assist you.

Do these messages disclose that you aren't speaking with the actual owner if you aren't? 

I'd be happy to discuss this or any other topics regarding property management at length via message if you'd like. 

Disabled and retirees get a certain level of significantly lowered hours and simple assignments, because moving is living and social interaction is needed not to mention there our elders and man we need elder wisdom this day n age so badly. 

If you have any questions feel free to send me a message and I'd be more than happy to help you get connected with some of these other essential people as well. 

I'd automate the email/message so I don't forget, too!
