From what I read in Bloomberg recently, investors gravitate towards platforms they trust on a personal level.I’ve found that blending personal touches with strategic growth means knowing your audience and what makes them tick.

Before listing it on an STR platform, I need to make some improvements to my current home.How can I maximize tax write-offs for these improvements?

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.

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

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?

There are other training programs out there and I have used them, but I always get the most out of the Awesome REI platform.

The re-vitalization of Flagler st by Moishe Mana, the big bets billionaire Ken Griffin is making on this city, brightline train, the Beckham soccer stadium will be ready for N America World cup 2026, the double decker hwy $840M Signature bridge connecting downtown miami and miami beach and the 30 acre park underneath it. 

Your best bet is to get the rec from an investor-friendly agent who also flips (but be very careful with this, so many fakers) or an investor.

If you have deep pockets, I think Austin will eventually reward you, but if you are a newbie in real estate looking to cash flow positive day one or shortly thereafter, Austin is probably not your best bet in TEXAS.  

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