Feel free to track on the site above or if not, I'll post again with an update in a few weeks time as they get closer to some sort of proposal.  

I used Hostaway for the last year and the they recently snuck in a 1.8% fee for our direct booking site.

I've looked at a few of the sites and will reach out to them. 

I keep monitoring the properties in the Cleveland Heights area (where we are looking to buy) on Zillow and other web sites but I am sure there are other ways of finding properties.

I am listed on 5 platforms plus have a direct booking site and I rank highly across my 5 listings.  

It looks like according to the county site (sbcounty.gov) they require all renter payment go to the active owner. 

Just trying to learn more about the process when its purchase only as I've seen that option on some lender sites. 

Then go to the different sites that come up and find where it says contact and then send them a message asking them to add you to their buyers list. 

If you are just looking to network I would go the route of meetups locally (you can check above at the toolbar, hoover over forums then to the right you have events and meetups.If you are looking to wholesale and build a list of buyers that fix and flip for deals you may have then I would pull lists from 3rd party sites like Property Radar or propstream.

Get listed on all the OTA’s and a direct booking site, use good management software like HostAway, use dynamic pricing software like pricelabs, use WiFi enabled smart locks like Schlage encode, use an email capture system for guests to login to WiFi like stayfi, use those captured emails to do marketing for your direct booking site, and automate scheduling and payments for cleaners and maintenance.
