I was curious if anyone deals with this problem and knew of a platform or resource I could use to find persons in that situation.

This is for my fellow builders on the platform.

Where's the "fee-based" version of Napster, the formerly free music share platform? 

But that is more of a gamble than buying a property with proven (or near-it) rents. 

If you're looking to hop into the short-term rental space the goal should be to build your own brand and only use Airbnb for what it is, a marketing platform.

2% is toast until market corrects, but you could bet(gamble) on appreciation to fill the gap, but don't do that!

I asked around and some people recommended this book:https://www.amazon.com/Optimiz...Additionally, someone recommended this instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/thej...someone also recommended this listing platform: https://www.hostfully.comI hope that helps, and hopefully more experienced people can chime in! 

Still gambling with 2 or 3 grand though.

When leads become "warm" by responding to a mail campaign or other marketing method, I'll turn them into a record on a cloud-hosted platform. 

What an amazing platform for those enthusiastic about real estate.
