I don't get why so many folks forget about the one of the oldest listing platforms around.

Are there any good platform to find GCs?

The first question is it a legit issue and most importantly is the lack of me doing it make the home unsafe or uninhabitable?

Austin that is legit amazing, I hope you are very very proud of what you have accomplished because not many people take that much action so way to go!!!

Are you focusing on online lead gen like Facebook ads, Zillow, or platforms like BiggerPockets?

That’ll give you flexibility to automate and integrate workflows as your needs evolve.A direct booking site is a nice-to-have down the line if you want to save on platform fees and build a brand, but starting with platforms like Furnished Finder or VRBO is a solid way to keep things simple while you’re getting started.Good luck—sounds like you’re on the right track!

Vrbo and Airbnb sync with each other for free, Vrbo has free dynamic pricing, both platforms send out enough automated messages for me.I check in on guests after they arrive to provide that small personal touch.We get consistent 5 star reviews with minimal effort.

I’ve made a conscious effort in automating and digitizing more of my rental management tasks and can share some of the tools I've been exploring that might be helpful to others.I use Baselane a lot, it is a platform that's really geared towards landlords and real estate investors.

It makes it easy to follow up with leads since I can text or call them directly from the platform.

From what I've seen, the average view-to-application ratio on platforms like Facebook Marketplace can vary quite a bit, but a general ballpark is around 5-10%.
