Do you know of any websites or platforms where I could go to analyze and practice seller finance and creative finance deals?

Hello Denis,I apologize for the delayed response; I’m new to the platform and still getting familiar with it.Let me quickly share a bit about myself.

This will be the best platform to educate yourself on investment strategies.

Is that something you're offering on other platforms as well? 

If you are doing a For Sale By Owner (FSBO), the platform(s) you are using may not be effective.4.

You seem to know how many lenders we have "signed-up" on our platform.

However, we will likely need a property manager to assist with some facets of running this rental (since we would not live locally) and would primarily market it through platforms such as Airbnb and VRBO to start, (eventually setting up a direct booking process).Here's our question for those who have experience in STR's or who might be involved in a similar scenario: How challenging is it to meet the material participation hours needed to achieve active status?

You'll lose rent while property is vacant, and you'll probably have to do more repairs to attract a new tenant than you would to keep the current tenant.Is all that worth requiring a tenant to use one specific payment platform?

  (2) Variable cost: platform fees from Airbnb and VRBO, lodging/hotel/transit or whatever pass-through tax your local AHJ requires, cleaning fee, cost of replacement for consumables, repair and maintenance, etc. 

It's crazy because there are so many platforms.
