I'll be interested to see if they sue other competitors to Airbnb and how it progresses.  

Use the tools provided for you... but whatever you do, stay away from Zillow as the leads are expensive, not good quality, and is now a direct competitor as a brokerage! 

It can be done, not trying to discourage you, but why get into the ring with a bigger, better, and more experienced competitor?

I'd check with the owners of some and see what they are paying for rent...tell them the situation and they will likely help to put a competitor under.  

If I have to constantly tinker with a system that is supposed to be providing me a service in order for it be beneficial, I'd rather go with a competitor which takes our needs as Landlords/Property Managers into account while reducing our liability. 

All the research shows that the average investor shouldn't bother picking stocks and should stick to low cost index funds, however I still believe that if you understand a business and how they make money, have a large barrier to entry from competitors, room to grow, it is wise to invest.

The competitor next door who bought the same house at the peak for $1.75 million with a 6% interest rate can't afford to make only $130k gross on that house. 

You really do want to believe that business success can come to someone without the knowledge, capital or experience his competitors have.You are dismissive to anyone who does not tell you everything is rosy and you are doing great; you are not really looking for advice you are looking for a pat on the back.

You will build a lot more credibility as well and as a wholesaler, you will stand out from your competitors.  

I have a BJ's membership (which is the biggest Cotsco competitor here in my area)..
