Prior to these sites emerging to dominance, I wouldn't have gotten near a VR with a ten foot poll; with this new platform, though, it can be incredibly rewarding if executed correctly and something I help interested clients to pursue.As Justin said, how selective you are in the neighborhoods you choose to invest in (AKA: being very thorough with your due diligence and making sure to avoid the neighborhoods where people are likely to take issue with short term rentals operating in their back yard and attempting to make formal changes to legislation) will go a long way in dictating the success you have.For instance, Del Mar just recently put a temporary stop to any new short term rentals operating in the  Zip Code and are currently 'sorting out' the 'unclear verbiage' regarding short term rentals in their municipal code.

I have been trying to find the information to run the calculations but not on an easy enough platform to run 3 analyses per day.

I wanted to say Hello and Thank You to BP for creating such a wonderful platform.

It's  an excellent distribution platform.  

I am not familiar with with the platforms you mentioned above but I do happened to have used Salesforce extensively for my own needs.

@Daniel Elijah RichardsonMany out of state investors shop through craigslist and other free sites so you could use those platforms also the market place here on BP.

If you are not eligible for a Solo 401k, a self directed IRA or IRA LLC can be a great way to access a large platform of investments.As pointed out already the decision of Roth vs traditional (non-Roth or tax deferred) should involve a number of factors.

Depending on whether you're looking for debt or equity, you may not have to worry too much about the regulations-- a lot of the platforms will handle the compliance aspects for you.

I saw in another thread a few days ago where members were discussing different platforms.

You are on the right platform, plenty of information here.
