Rabbu leads: short-term rental investors, shared with up to 3 competing lenders

Rabbu helps investors find and finance Airbnb and other short-term rental properties. When an investor asks for financing, Rabbu passes the lead to up to three lenders in its network, usually for a DSCR loan. Rabbu has a Zapier app, so each lead can reach Callingly and get a call the minute it's created.

Who Rabbu sends you

Rabbu is a short-term rental investing platform. Investors use it to size up Airbnb properties, and when they want financing, Rabbu matches them with lenders who understand short-term rentals. Most of those loans are DSCR loans, qualified on the property’s expected rental income rather than the investor’s W-2. Lenders on Rabbu list programs like STR, DSCR and conventional loans.

You apply for a lender profile, choose the states you’re licensed in, and buy lead credits once Rabbu approves you. Each lead carries the investor’s contact details, the property, its estimated Airbnb performance, and what they want to finance. That’s more context than most mortgage leads bring, and it’s worth using on the first call.

Up to three lenders get each investor

Rabbu sends each lead to “a maximum of 3 competing lenders,” and only to investors who opted in to hear from them. Rabbu’s own posts tell investors they’ll be matched with two to four specialists, in some posts within minutes. So the investor knows other lenders are coming. The one who calls while they’re still looking at the property, with an answer on how their DSCR math works, is the one they remember.

Rabbu doesn’t publish advice on how fast to call or how it handles bad leads for lenders. Ask about credits for wrong numbers before you buy a large package.

Send Rabbu leads to the AI Agent through Zapier

Rabbu delivers leads by email, as a CSV or into your CRM, and its Zapier app has a “New Lender Lead” trigger. That’s the fastest way into Callingly through Zapier. There’s no ready-made Rabbu-to-Callingly template, so you’ll build the Zap yourself. It takes four steps:

  1. In Zapier, start a Zap with the Rabbu app’s “New Lender Lead” trigger, which runs when Rabbu creates a lead for you.
  2. Add Callingly’s “Call Lead” action and pick the team that should get your Rabbu leads.
  3. Map the investor’s phone number from the Rabbu lead into the Phone Number field. Callingly can’t call a lead without one. Map the property details into the lead’s notes so the AI Agent and your loan officer can see them.
  4. Turn the Zap on. When your first Rabbu lead comes through, open it in Callingly and check the phone number is there.

The AI Agent calls each lead that arrives inside your team’s call hours as soon as it lands, and only between 8 AM and 9 PM in the lead’s time zone. For leads outside those hours, add an AI call to the sequence’s Outside Business Hours branch, or turn on its “Wait until next business hours” step so the call goes out at the next time that fits both your call hours and the lead’s window.

What happens when the AI Agent calls

Within your team’s call hours, each new lead gets a call from the AI Agent as soon as it reaches Callingly, plus texts in the same sequence if you want them. The AI Agent asks your qualifying questions, such as purchase timeline, down payment and whether they own other rentals, and warm-transfers the live investor to a loan officer who’s free. When nobody is, it offers a callback at a time the investor picks. When the investor doesn’t answer, the followup sequence keeps calling and texting on your schedule.

Rabbu lead questions

Are Rabbu lender leads exclusive?

No. Rabbu sends each investor to a maximum of three competing lenders, and only to investors who opted in to hear from them. The other two may call the same investor about the same property, so the first useful conversation counts.

How much do Rabbu lender leads cost?

You buy lead credits after Rabbu approves your lender profile. Rabbu’s lender pricing isn’t laid out consistently on its site, and the per-lead prices you’ll see quoted are often for its real estate agent program, not lenders. Ask Rabbu for the lender rate before you buy.

Can Callingly call Rabbu leads without Zapier?

Yes, if Rabbu sends your leads into a CRM Callingly connects to, like HubSpot or Salesforce. Start the Callingly call from the CRM instead. Email delivery works too, through Callingly’s email integration.
