Are you focusing on online lead gen like Facebook ads, Zillow, or platforms like BiggerPockets?

@DeBret McGee IIYour best bet is to secure a deal with creative financing, seller financing or meter lease options.

That’ll give you flexibility to automate and integrate workflows as your needs evolve.A direct booking site is a nice-to-have down the line if you want to save on platform fees and build a brand, but starting with platforms like Furnished Finder or VRBO is a solid way to keep things simple while you’re getting started.Good luck—sounds like you’re on the right track!

bet dollars to donuts its leveraged to the eyeballs. 

I’ve made a conscious effort in automating and digitizing more of my rental management tasks and can share some of the tools I've been exploring that might be helpful to others.I use Baselane a lot, it is a platform that's really geared towards landlords and real estate investors.

Vrbo and Airbnb sync with each other for free, Vrbo has free dynamic pricing, both platforms send out enough automated messages for me.I check in on guests after they arrive to provide that small personal touch.We get consistent 5 star reviews with minimal effort.

From what I've seen, the average view-to-application ratio on platforms like Facebook Marketplace can vary quite a bit, but a general ballpark is around 5-10%.

Hell, I might be even-steven if we had one, and I'd bet money @Russell Brazil and @Nathan Gesner would be there with me despite the fact they're two of the smartest dudes in here because they're not soft pedalers.

Most criminals defrauded the IRSI wonder what would happen if the people who combined lost like $2M all sent 1099's to him-I bet that would wake up the IRS but not sure if it would impact their claim later on.

If you are in a high fire zone, the California Fair Plan is likely your best bet.
