Airbnb/Short Term Rental investors - I'm helping a client with global sourcing experience validate a business idea and wondering if this would actually move the needle for you...The concept: A done-for-you supply chain service that sources your recurring STR supplies (towels, toiletries, linens, etc.) directly from vetted factories in China, adds your custom branding, and ships everything consolidated to save you 20-30% vs. retail.So instead of multiple Amazon/Costco runs or risky Alibaba orders, you'd get:Branded amenities (your logo on shampoo bottles, towels, etc.)Bundled shipments every 30-60 daysQuality control and inspection handledBoutique guest experience at wholesale pricesExample: One operator projected $20K+ annual savings on 50+ units just by switching their towel and toiletry sourcing.The tradeoff: 30-day lead times vs. same-day pickup, and you'd need to plan inventory ahead.Honest question for operators with 10+ units: Are you spending $200-500+ per unit annually on supplies, or constantly dealing with inconsistent quality/stockouts?

The softwares that pull the lists are more or less the same since they all just take the tax record data and upload it into their own software/website (Prop stream, deal machine, batch leads, etc.)If you're on a budget I would get batch leads for $100 a month and you can export 10k leads skip traced.

Buying a deed should never be the goal, but rather buy a deed that will lead to a profit.

I saw the writing on the wall with thousands of new units going up and everyone rushing to theme, leading to both quantity and quality saturation. 

We’re looking for a few real estate agents to fill openings in our Featured Agent Program, so if you’re an agent I’d love to talk with you about receiving what I personally think are some of the best leads on the market!

This is a really exciting spot to be in and it sounds like you’ve put in a lot of thought already which is huge Most importantly since this involves family and money I’d suggest putting everything in writing and working through the numbers with a Maryland real estate attorney so it is fair and clear for both of you A joint venture or LLC with ownership percentages laid out can help avoid misunderstandings down the road Make sure you confirm rental licensing requirements and lead paint compliance if the home is older and definitely run cash flow projections before finalizing

So far, no joy.Would you please ping me with any leads you come across? 

How do you determine whether a lead is worth pursuing?

Would love to hear where you all go to swap ideas or find investor leads (except for the BP forums). 🙌  Super old school and not very efficient but I've been having a ton of success 1 on 1.
