Feel free to inquire about their staff qualifications if it's a larger organization.2.

VC Firms and buyers would be looking for a portfolio that doesn't just have 1 or 2 streams of income, but rather also having the direct bookings and social media presence.There may not be many buyers who would purchase a 10-15 property portfolio, but if you scale to 30-50 or even 75-100+ Owned Units, I would think that VC / Private Equity firms may be interested.

I leave the marginal ones waiting, letting them know I will reach out when I have a showing date/time.At the showing, I collect their completed application (sent via PDF prior or filled out on premises), scan their photo ID and last 2 pay stubs.Then, I do some digging around online (social media, court records, Google) and if it looks like they are representing themselves to me accurately, I contact them and send them a link to do the background checks (paid by them directly to the vendor). 

To address this, the proposed model puts the responsibility for these operational tasks entirely on the property owner, with an option to get the tenant management and income distribution fully automatic by assigning the property to a proposed "income distribution and management" organization owned by the platform.

I would like to start using social media, in particular YouTube, to market my business but I know very little about it.

@Gash Nookala,Renting can indeed be slower in winter, but here are some tips to boost interest:Enhance Listing: Ensure your listing has detailed descriptions and high-quality photos—consider professional photography if needed.Competitive Pricing: Double-check local comps; even a slight price adjustment or incentives (like a reduced deposit) could attract more interest.Broaden Marketing: Beyond Zillow, Hemlane, and MLS, use social media, community boards, and local business connections to reach a wider audience.Flexible Lease Terms: Offering shorter or month-to-month leases might appeal to tenants during this slower season.Local Property Manager: A local pro can tap into their network and help fill the vacancy faster.These steps should help you find a tenant despite the seasonal slowdown.

@Nathan Gesner Do you personally work with any such organizations?

To find someone, I’d start by reaching out to local rehab centers or recovery organizations as they often know operators who are looking for housing.

@Keith RichardsonIt depends on your risk tolerance and ability to stay organized.
