no. but then you dont have to spend any time or money marketing it either, you can let those platforms do it. and im not saying you close your accounts there, but giving another avenue helps. and my rental has the website name on the outside, anyone walking by can see it and inquire about rentals. and no, the PMS doesnt charge me a processing fee, that is done by the credit card processor and you can roll that small charge into the rental price so that you are not paying it, the guest is, like they do with the other platforms. and i can charge more on a direct booking than ABB/VRBO, the guest will stay pay less and i make more money. all for the 3-4 hours it took to set up a website. oh, and if someone is on google maps looking in my area, my location will show as a rental with a link to my website (yes, i have gotten some bookings that way also).

I'm really close to Lake Norman. 

I've found myself too close to the wall to see the route around it time and time again.

Hi 👋🏽 I’m closing on my property in 4days but I just realized that it may make sense for me to consider a 1031 Exchange.

After the sell of my house I'd want to purchase the farm, I could use the equity remaining in the hose to cover closing cost of the farm. 

Close to CA, landlord and tax friendly.

You do whatever you can to get that super duper deal funded and closed. 

Getting out of college, one benefit is you can close on your househack before you start your job. 

We buy, fix, flip and manage and leave no stone unturned when looking for deals.We negotiate hard, buy with cash and close quickly.Gotta buy cheap in order to make margin but still deliver a turnkey property to investor at fair market value.I've always believed in "making money when you buy and not when you sell".So it's important to buy cheap.A strategy that I always tell all of our buyers when investing is to always "underestimate income and overestimate expenses".If you think it won't happen to you, it will and you can't go wrong including a margin of safety when predicting expenses.I hope that helps 👍

I could easily find the expenses to bring my tax liability for the income from building it down close to zero.
