We have almost always just dealt with the listing agent (LA) on deals we have done (40+) or deal directly with the seller.

For marketing, best practices are:+listed it on two sites, one of which is Airbnb and the other is a long-term unfurnished site like Zillow, Turbo Tenant or Avail (people convert well on those sites)+Write the listing broad and avoid any preference for traveling nurses, medical professionals, insurance folks, etc.

I find that craigslist and FB market place is where the scammers list properties. 

I listed this house well into the winter holidays and was getting a bit restless that I wasn't getting much action on it.

Returns of items that don't work/ don't fitSmoke and carbon detectors $100If you really want to make the garage an ADU ask the planning desk now and research if you need separate electric panel - do you need certain parking set backs or a carport?

Not to mention, you duck out whenever someone questions whether you own the assets you list on your profile page.

He has tried several times to get a response from the listing agent with no response. 

We would need to add the contingencies for title, appraisal, inspection, etc so just wanting to make sure to cover all the necessary items.  

The lender will qualify you (there's a rather 'red flags list' that is used) - as well as have you sign all the occupancy declarations - that pertain to the financing prior to closing.

I would like the listings to be similar in price across all platforms, but since they won’t be exactly to the dollar, I’d prefer Airbnb and vrbo to be the cheaper option over booking.com.
