Yes I market won all platform , my idea was to have inspection before someone it’s moving in , but it’s seam it’s not working that way the all process  

This platform is great for motivated newbies like myself . 

I completed an extensive rehab my primary house last year, as well as rehabbing all 7 units on my other properties, so I have the experience it takes for this flip, just not the timeline for a traditional mortgage if I'd like to put in an offer.  

Hey @Mark Davis, if you aren't going to go whole hog into the STR game (AirBNB is a platform, not a house) then doing it for a few months doesn't make sense.

Then doing some anonymous digging I found that for whatever reason, the platforms were pushing new listings up to the top and it didn't matter that they had bad reviews..

There are services which allow them to complete the application themselves online; some services even allow tenants to sign a lease with you online using the same platform (and offer other tools like online rent collection and managing maintenance requests). 

Could you do traditional financing instead if it meant securing the deal?  

I got an email from Connected Investors soliciting their RE Investor platform.

I posted my rental ad on multiple platforms (zillow, trulia, zumper, craigslist, apartments.com) and set the rate about 10% higher than the market with the intention to lower it gradually and also my unit is freshly renovated and nicer than the comps.

If you can qualify, I highly encourage to pursue it.If you go through traditional financing, my understanding is that lenders will disqualify you for a mortgage if you’re going to use credit cards to use as a down payment.
