I'm looking to connect with some wholesalers in Maine and New Hampshire.  Even if someone could recommend someone would be helpful.

Thanks!

Are there any bird dogs out there in Maine or New Hampshire?  Also, are there any out there?  I haven't heard any chatter about bird dogging for a bit and it seemed a few years back that was all I was hearing about.  Bird dogs can be a really valuable resource.

A while back I used Birddogg.net I think it was, they had an app as well, until it ended.  It worked really well, maybe there is something out there like that now?  Anyone else ever use that app or know of something similar to it that is in the market now?

Thanks @David Marshall for the info, this is all very helpful.  I have to ask, if the challenge is the winter months are people having good success renting units in Portland during the summer? I have some in Old Orchard Beach and we take full advantage of June, July, August and even September then we just rent to a tenant from October until May.  Could Portland be similar in that way if using Airbnb?  Especially if we don't want to miss out on vacancy?

Looking to connect with some wholesalers in Maine and even New Hampshire.  Still a bit new to posting so I hope I am placing this in the right place.

Thanks for the input @Paul Sandhu .  That's helpful, CL is a great resource and we already do use it to fill in gaps in our short-term rentals.  They are near areas where there is quite a bit going on (a rather larger city for the state).  How often would you say on average out of each month your houses are filled?

Has anyone had any luck with direct mail to purchased vacant list leads?  Different small outlets have them for sale but I am just wondering the success rate people seem to have or if they are not any different than standard absentee owner mailer data.

Looking for some insight from anyone that does year round rentals using Airbnb, Home Away, Flipkey, VRBO, etc.  I currently have a few but only seasonal and I would like to see if anyone in Maine has had success with year-round terms.
