See what reviews you can find about whoever your thinking about joining and see what actual people on a 3rd person platform like bigger pockets would say. 2.

I don't like their interface very much - I do not find it intuitive - but they're the ONLY platform I've found that truly understands the nuances of STRs and direct booking and provides solutions for basically any scenario (I could find other, slicker, more expensive platforms that would do everything BUT... automatically apply a damage waiver to every reservation, which is something I very much want for direct booking).  

@Katrina Cabral Are you looking for property management software for managing or the best listing platforms? 

Any suggestions or input from any agents that are currently using the platform would be greatly appreciated.

Paypal offers pretty good integration with most website platforms.

The guy needs a 'dedication'.  

@Rachel Foster which platform?

Dip your toes in the industry first before you dedicate to getting a license.  

I sometimes get an email through the platform asking for information like how far is the boat ramp, where can I rent a boat etc.I can see their number at the inquiry stage as a premier partner.

I recently listened to an episode of the The Real Estate Guys Radio Show where they dedicated an entire show to mentorship, their value, how to find them, and how to vet them.
