Quote from @Justin Miller: Airbnb and VRBO's automated systems actively scan messages for external links, especially those leading to sites where direct booking is possible.Even if the link points only to your Guidebook page, if that page is hosted on your direct booking website and is "one click" away from a pricing or booking page, the platforms consider it an attempt to solicit off-platform bookings, which violates their Terms of Service.

If a tenant will communicate with me, then I'm always willing to work with them (especially a tenant who has been reliable and consistently paid rent).

I just read a post that suggested to use the time now to plan for starting on Jan 1st. That is horrible advice!!Most properties I have ever bought, were purchased during fall and early winter. Back in 2010 banks wante...

My next one is on the 15th and if you shoot me a message I can send you the details.

Once you have that piece down, it’s all about how to consistently get in front of those sellers.

I do agree that if it’s done right, bringing maintenance in-house can be a huge benefit for consistency and response time.

Anyone going to craigslist must be a little desperate and so that is an awesome resource for cash buyersGet a pro membership here on Biggerpockets and you can start posting deals on market place.Get BOTH a motivated seller website AND a cash buyers website going, rank it #1 and cash buyers are constantly messaging you if you have a deal available.

The goal is to automate payment reminders, late fee notices, and bulk messages, without paying for features you’ll never use.One great option for small landlords is Innago.

It's also in my message when people initially reach out. 

@Jarret Jarvis Hey Jarret, appreciate the message and the warm welcome!
