But, if the deal is a true ABL play, I may not even look at a credit report at all.

The amount of ideologically inspired nonsense online is mind-boggling. 

@Tom Dieringer After purchasing my first property in 2024, I acquired most of my short-term rental (STR) knowledge from The Short Term Shop, which included maintaining respectful communication with guests, keeping calendar availability up-to-date, and ensuring high-quality listings.When I initially began May of 2024, I opted to list my property exclusively on a single Online Travel Agency (OTA) - Vrbo.

What is the best way to go about finding these property listings online before they go to the auctions?

Hi John,I like playing with raw land, too, in Snohomish county, WA, just north of Seattle. 

Once you master it, its an awesome tool.Like the other members say, you can easily find it online, however, i strongly recommend you watch the videos (that come with the calculator when you buy it for a lil over $100) so you can learn how to use it properly.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Jay HinrichsGreat points - yes many are from here on BP such as a bearded guy, a guy who threatened to sue a LP and still doesn’t respond according to his investors, two other “note funds” one investing in skidrow homes and the other in broadway plays….

Plus I just hit “Mark as played.”

I’d love to hear about the crime rates or any other issues (which we cannot guess from the online stats), and how easy or hard it is to find reliable tenants and property management companies.

So seems like a decent play for cash flow but not much for appreciation.
