It's hard to screw up the Erent or Cozy platforms (and probably the others as well). 

If I had a STR manager, I would either use the co-host feature on Airbnb or hire one of the local STR managers that will continue to use Airbnb as their advertising platform.

The start of this process is an iterative cart-before-the-horse, chicken-and-egg, “insert idiom”, and keeping potential investors in the loop on your process will give you a reason to stay in touch while proving your abilities and defining your value-add with investor input.2)  Partnering with experienced Bigger Pockets members is an exponential multiplier when you need to build your credentials, augment your skillset, and validate your platform with investors.3)  Your investors don’t always need to provide 100% of the purchase plus renovation cash.

You will have three main types of platforms available: full spread adhesive glue down, a click or lock system and a perimeter sticky adhesive system where there is a lip of pre-apply adhesive on all four sides of each plank or tile.

To date, I've worked on my credit to get an average score of 710 and saved 10k in a bank for investments.My question: Bigger Pockets has a wealth of hard and private lenders in Atlanta and middle Georgia where I could get a decent rated loan to buy houses between $35-$100kin my area.

I have looked into Cozy, but I would like to know of other platforms that would work well for such a small self storage facility. 

The CF platforms normally won't take you seriously without that. 

It could take many months to see results depending on how competitive the market is, and it's important to have a good platform. 

It's only a matter of time before one these hits it big and all of a sudden we have 1 national platform which the average "mum and dad" trust and go online to list and sell their property.

We're testing realcrowd as a platform and another means of raising capital however we started by networking and building relationships.
