My personal soapbox statement - Airbnb is an abusive spouse that slowly people are waking up to realize they are in a controling abusive relationship and they start to develop an escape plan (more platforms/direct website) so they are no longer relying on Airbnb.

Through relentless self-education on platforms like BiggerPockets, networking like crazy (over 200 Zoom calls in 2020!)

You should utilize resources like BiggerPockets, build a team, and use online platforms to find potential properties.

If there are any platforms offering more attractive terms on the HEA than the HELOC it could be an option. 

The platform I invest (gamble?)

We are now offering a limited service option where you would own the Airbnb listing, we would have to own the other platforms we list on listings, however.

If so I'd recommend looking at RentRedi, it's free for pro members and it has a free prescreening application, and also does credit and background checks through the platform that the applicants pay for.

It includes paperwork, scheduling third-party inspections, and meeting critical dates for due diligence and closing.By leveraging technology, we use platforms like Asana to assign and track tasks.

Most brokers use some form of a soft MLS and Street Easy plus their own brokerage platform.

@Jill Hutsonthree reasons why apartments don't rent: Condition, Price, and Marketing, and a fourth can be the leasing agent, although I would tend to lump that into marketing.If the house is in good shape, and you're on all the platforms marketing it, then it's a function of price.There has been an oversupply of new inventory coming on line in many markets, and that's why rents have dropped in a lot of the metros.Unfortunately, it appears you have a pricing issue and you may have to start reducing the price, or throwing in some type of  concessionGood luckGino
