Would love to chat and tell you what I know of the area and bounce ideas..  

New to bigger pockets but very familiar with multifamily real estate here in Los Angeles!  Looking to connect with other people here in Los Angeles to see where it takes us.  A lot of my good friends and connections t...

(i'm pretty pumped) i'd be happy to chat and go into details. 

Chat to a lender in person and see what your options would be.

What are some of the best platforms out there that offer these tools? 

Hi Donald, it is awesome to that you're shopping around for the right platform to help you with managing your first rental.

For those that we are keeping on AirBNB, we are reducing base prices, increasing discounts for longer stays, including sanitation protocol language, changing to flexible cancellation, listing on multiple platforms (VRBO/Air/Booking.com), optimizing listing titles & photos as much as possible. 

Or are your agents using personal phones to FaceTime/video chat the interested leads?

I told a girl annoyed that she had just booked a great gig, she's a folksy guitar player / singer,  to sign up for Patreon, do eVites and then have people pay to watch her perform on video and chat with her fans - guess what - her list responded positively on her Insta and now she can do something, whole venues need to think about this. 

I would advise that you reach out to them directly on their social media platform.
