I look for high equity properties, expired listings, vacant homes, properties owned by tired landlords and other such filters.When I find a property, I contact the owner with this message:"HiThis is Chetan.

As a former Angeleno (TX now), flips are a great entry point-- congrats on finishing up the second flip and good luck with the new listing! 

I am not even going to ask you whether you were listed as additional insured under the contractors insurance policy.

It lists the nightly rate in total, the fees broken down (pet, cleaning etc) and the service fee.

I list on Zillow, primarily communicate with them over Zillow messages and then give our remote login code to enter the home. 2) Maintenance between tenants - This one will be tricky as I will have to transfer all utilities to my name and send multiple vendors to the house for getting the house rent ready.

I’ve run some numbers with a current real estate listing, but it seems hard to find a house with positive cash flow.

The radio station said they can do ads and list us on their socials starting at $450 per spot but it's for 1 ad. . then there is are listing platforms but thats like $399/mo.

These are in no particular order I suppose but all good items to look at when you are trying to understand a market well (especially for the first time!)

Then provide them with a preferred vendor list, set up electronic locks and make the landlording a little more automated.

Compare a few direct booking websites/tools and you'll see that most are exactly the same: simple, templated sites with a front-page search/map, property-specific listing pages, and integration with a payment processor, like Stripe.
