Hands down the best platform to either buy or sell a note, particularly for the less-experienced investor.

Genuinely curious how many players (on this platform otherwise) you're seeing and how common/uncommon it is for individuals to be playing in the $250k+ range, $500k+, $1MM+... 

When neither of the above has worked out, I've also gone so far as to reach out on the platform directly to other local hosts and inquire if they'd be willing to share contact information - surprisingly enough, it has worked and have gotten some great contacts from doing so.

@Marcelle Abel there are many accountant here on the platform that work nationwide and deal with STRs.

I'm glad to see other women on this platform striving for the same.

I would research online and see what other feedback you get here and make sure they are legit before sending over any personal information or money!

Running comps and evaluating deals takes a legit professional who eats, breathes, and lives this game every day.

This site is definitely a great platform when starting.

I too utilize HELOC's to invest passively, one with a trusted investor (developer) in FL, another avenue is through lending platforms such as Groundfloor, or other local options like Milwaukee Hard Money (local to me), etc.

I typically follow up with every inquiry that we get via Zillow, Realtor, and any other platform.
