The best way to get leads from giveaways is to tap into someone else's audience rather than just relying on your own. Reach out to some popular travel accounts with more followers to partner up for things like that. More traffic to your page is a bonus there. Just make sure to vet them and make sure the followers are real.

Yes, you are on the right track here

Check out Dustin Baker he makes some incredible content about this and runs a company/mastermind group that teaches this at a high level

I think this video covers it but check out the others just to be sure

AIRDNA Rentalizer and Awaning Airbnb estimator to start but reach out to a local STR investor agent to have them set up you up with a search and to get market insights. I know apart from the short-term shop that Tyler Coon is a decent one

Investment Info:

Single-family residence fix & flip investment in Chicago.

Purchase price: $110,000
Cash invested: $35,000
Sale price: $200,000

Flipped an out-of-state single-family in Clarksville, TN from my home in York, SC. All remote, worked with a great local GC and Property Manager to fix & flip.

Just to clarify was the deal in Chicago or Clarksville?

How did you find it?

Would love to see pictures of the final product

Do you have certain criteria you are looking for? Almost all of my off-market deals are new construction but I wanted to keep my eyes out if I come across something for you

Quote from @Mark Castellino:

We're searching for properties in the Smokies to renovate and STR. There a a lot of contractors in the area that specialize in new builds, but we haven't found many that do remodeling. Any recommendations? Most of the properties we're looking at are Sevier County, but a couple are within the Gatlinburg city limits, so we're looking for contractors that are licensed in either jurisdiction.

I don't know if he could help but I would check out Marques Brown. He is a good friend and help a client out recently with a full remodel.

Hilton Head is fantastic, I used to live there. You aren't going to find anything for under 200k, that's worth owning at least

Love the black log look... Makes it stand out more than the traditional logs you see all over the place

Mind sharing the listing? Would love to check it out

I know @Jonathan Anderson has a couple of multi-family deals in SC, I would chat with him and see what you could do there

Coming from someone born and raised in the Carolinas and who works full-time in the Smokie Mountain market as an agent/investor you won't really be able to find anything worth owning in those primary markets.

My advice is to look at secondary markets and find a unique property that can become the destination rather than buying in a hot destination and hoping to get a slice of the pie that everyone else is competing for with higher budgets. Smaller coastal or mountain towns for STRs or the Greenville/Spartanburg area for LTRs/MTRs.

Happy to dive deeper into this conversation with you and share any connections I have.
