Ideally trying to stay away from conventional lending since they require the GC to manage the entire project and GC's in the area are incompetent. 40 homes under my belt in another state that doesnt require GC and I have a GC that will manage some of the project under our platform to use their license, quality control, but not to mange subs/payments.Id prefer to pay for details out of pocket and get reimbursed at milestones from the HML. 

And I think this applies to the hosts, the guests and the platforms themselves - particularly Airbnb.

If you are using an investment management platform many of those will also do the aml/kyc checks as well

Those are the main platforms worth having it on. 

Propstream has many good videos and tutorials on how to best use their platform.

If I cancel his reservation I will be penalized by the Airbnb platform with a 25-50% charge of the total payout by the guest.

Have been searching unsuccessfully across the online platforms for deals and sometimes a realtor.

This way, you're setting yourself up for success down the road to not be reliant on leads.There's a ton of different methods to doing this from attending networking events, hosting networking events, activity across all social platforms and obviously bigger pockets to name a few.

The house isn't so "specialized" that it would turn off potential abled-bodied tenants but does have a vertical platform lift in the garage, a 60"x60" curb-less shower, a sloped front kitchen sink base, roll-under bathroom sink, elevated 21" toilet, grab bars, 36" doors throughout and a W/D hook-ups on the main level.

There can be some advantages for sure of going with a local bank, but you are cutting a lot of options off the table if you aren't considering national lending platforms
