Reading the replies to Luke's post asking folks which booking platform they prefer, I wonder about the lack of protection when guests book directly.

In any case, I hope it's potentially very profitable to compensate for the risk.Generally, neither banks nor other lending institutions will lend cross-border to private individuals for such purposes.So, I can think of three options:1.

Otherwise, you can invest in out of state real estate as a part of a syndication or crowdfunding platform. 

There are a few neighborhoods that have a good cross-section of dilapidated housing stock, next to recent rehabs, giving a good base for ARV. 

I'm looking for an all inclusive platform that has the ability to generate lists, has a website generator that traffic can be driven to, automated emails, text messages and mailings, or at least teach me how to do those, and a CRM. 

.- You can start off by renting out your car using a platform like Turo.

Unlike Airbnb, Furnished finder is a listing platform only.

@Mallikarjun Reddy Pateel South Shore and Chatam are up about 24% on the year but Woodlawn is up a staggering 35% and Greater Grand Crossing somehow gained 65%.

I would check in with social media platforms as well(facebook, youtube, etc) that have local info.

I'm new to BiggerPockets but know that there are likeminded individuals on this platform.
