This is why some houses don't go off the market instantly, because the diligence fee isn't nominal.Most agents will push you to put up a considerable amount, close to 1% for the starter houses and some want you to try to do 5% for the high-end areas.

We just purchased and I’m ramping up my OTAs.  

Looking for some insight and recommendations based off of what worked well for others.

Hi Wilson, I'm using Guesty for Hosts now, but's a low-end, dated solution that's, increasingly, being positioned as an on-ramp to a higher-cost Guesty for Pros upsell. 

To start off, I am not new to the game, my father was an experienced flipper and he figured out how to BRRR himself before YouTube was really a thing.

Ideally, you need to work with a resourceful investor-focused real estate agent who can bring you opportunities or source your deals off-market (aka below market value). 

One guy left his nail gun in the alley and it walked off, but I've seen that happen in A-B neighborhoods too.

Contractors don't make a living off marking up material prices.

James, I agree with Roberto, off market properties are going to be much easier to work with.
