Any podcast or blog recommendations for DMV STRs or general STRs?

Welcome to the site and glad to see another fellow Westchester Resident.

Which sites do you recommend for pricing? 

Quote from @Grant Francke: For those with using Buildium for property management software, do you use Buildium's public site or do you use a website you have made and maintain?

I have been working with my contractor about 23 years now and when we get involved in a project I go to the site at least 4-5 times per week.

This is probably a place where you go to one of the personal loan sites to borrow money or maybe a credit union. 

If the software is not simplifying your life or making you more accurate, you shouldn't use it.Software does have extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

The site was under construction and I only recently got a login to the site.

I'm considering purchasing a condo or a small SFH in the Oceanside/Carlsbad area as an investment property and renting it out on a short term rental site like AirBNB. 

Sites such as biggerpockets.com have many syndicators that participate in the forums.
