After I gather my "list", I do a quick google search to see if the ones I'm really hot for are on the MLS already.

For us it varies by property - smaller more urban units can be 80,90% Airbnb whereas larger beach houses can be as low as 30% Airbnb but company wide on 65 or so doors last I checked was 40% Airbnb, 30% VRBO, 30% Other (Direct, Marriott, Google, Booking.com, Jetblue/Allegiant Airlines, others).

I use a google voice number for advertising/marketing properties and first name only for advertising on the internet but my full name is on my lease and i give all of my tenants my personal cell phone number.

Copy and paste the mailing address in google and once you see a homebuyer related website call the number let them know you find properties based off investor criteria and ask for acquisition manager.

You can also find real estate investing groups through meetup.com, Facebook, or a Google search.

You can also search Google and read reviews.

It at least affects ratings on Google and Angies List, maybe saving people in the future from a similar issue. 

However, if you want organic placement on google and Bing than I would go with Carrot.
