I'm an authorized reseller for Generali (for our guests that book off-platform) and it's something like $59 for the guest, and you can buy it on their behalf, but I'm not sure that it covers chargebacks.

As a wholesaler, hopefully hearing from some of you with experience with these sites, what are the advantages or disadvantages of each of these sites respectively... as far as which search criteria to use on each platform?

Listing your properties on platforms like LoopNet or Crexi can be worth it!

BUT maybe think about freshening up the exterior of your STR (Airbnb is a platform).I work for Airbnb as an "Airbnb SuperHost Ambassador". 

As much as you push the narrative of "passive" investing and this being a suitable option-- it just exposes the fact you're a predator on the uninformed.

Most of it is just desert and not suitable for living or hunting. 

Welcome Anthony, BP is a great platform to learn and connect with other investors!

Most serious and qualified tenants are searching on the major 3rd party platforms you mentioned + realtor.com, redfin, and a few others.Apartments.com & homes.com are owned by the same company and may offer some additional marketing options.Another strategy to consider here is social media - video marketing.

Most productive leasing platforms?

Firstly, well done for persevering and trying every avenue you thought would get you the data you needed.Most would have caved earlier and handed out there hard earned cash for old, saturated leads/records from the same prominent platforms which dump them pretty much when they receive them from either 1).the same large brokers AFTER the county has listed them on the county website or, 2). from the counties themselves directly AFTER the county has listed them on there own website, or, 3). from data scrapers on Upwork/Fiverr who scrape the data from those same platforms AFTER the counties/brokers sell those platforms the data being scraped by the freelancers.Anyway, rant aside you seem to of made the same mistake i made when I first started branching out away from providing leads to my original couple of clients i got from Upwork who wanted me to scrape data from court records in FL for pre FC leads.Simply, I didn't know where to look for the information I needed in states outside of FL.FL only allows the judicial route to foreclosure so I only needed to know/find/scrape the data from Lis Pendens documents for counties they requested.
