I rarely have any trouble with Vrbo and their software and app is so much easier to use than Airbnb.I have instant booking turned on so never have an issue with accepting bookings.

I view and screen leads as they come in, and if they don't already have a zillow app I direct them to the hemlane app, and once accepted move them into hemlane if they are not already for payment etc. 

Hey guys I'm new to this app and I want to rebuild my credit and get into real estate in the future.

Right now wholesalers are mainly doing:SMS TextingCold CallingDirect Mail / PostcardsThe “next level” is PPL (Pay-Per-Lead) through lead generation companies, so you’re only paying for conversations that raise their hand.Most people start by pulling lists of sellers in distress (pre-foreclosure, tax liens, probate, divorce, etc.) and then stacking those lists so you’re not just hitting one pain point but several.On top of that, a few other things are working well right now:PPC / Google Ads – motivated sellers often search “sell my house fast” before answering cold outreach.Facebook/Instagram Ads with strong local targeting.Driving for Dollars apps (batchdriven, dealmachine) paired with skip-tracing to hit niche properties others might miss.Follow-up systems – 70% of deals come from nurturing leads over time, not just first contact.What seems less effective today:Bandit signs (cities are cracking down, saturation is high).Generic postcard campaigns without a targeted or consistent follow-up strategy.Mass cold email (deliverability has dropped a lot).The real key is consistency + multi-channel.

Or, do you have any advice on which site/app to post my rental listing on?

A duplex is ideal for my situation but I haven’t seen many on the apps I’ve been looking on.

These things have quietly saved me more than any fancy app or spreadsheet ever did.the cheapest repair is the one you preventA small drip turns into a nightmare fast.Once, I ignored a slow leak in the basement because it “didn’t look serious.”

Over time, I added apps like Stessa and RentRedi to make things easier.

Ask yourself:Deal Sourcing: Does it seamlessly capture leads from your website, driving-for-dollars apps, and referrals into one place?
