This is an example of how the media spins fake news...4.

He said no, because I'm not a real estate agent.But I've blogs  that said that I could get a fee from an investor friendly real estate agent.What's real and what's fake you guys.

We also plan to finish the basement, which would add about 700 square feet of living space.Before purchasing the property, we ran preliminary numbers, and converting it to an STR seemed promising.

Explain our situation and see if they have a solution or if they just make lofty promises without a clear plan of action.

Finally, they promise you to refund your money within 90 days if you're not satisfied. 

I've also thought about direct contact, such as door to door or cold calling, but door to door is very time consuming and doesn't have the promise of meeting the actual owner of the property, and I still haven't figured out how to get phone lists of potential leads.

Hi @Wade C. and fellow Bigger Pockets Hosts,I’m currently in the third week of my trial with Intellihost, and I’m finding it promising so far.

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

But regardless of how promising a market may be, it's important that you have a way to source good deals, whether that be through a wholesaler, agent, etc.  

If the letter was fake I would have denied showing them the property.
