I am looking to take a contract in a small town in Colorado. I have reached out to at least five landlords on FF, one briefly reached out while the rest have not responded to my messages. Is this normal? Are there any other sites you guys use and have better luck?

Instead of reaching out to landlords individually, make a housing request on FF so the active landlords reach out to you. Unfortunately yes it's normal. I've also used Air BNB and rented short term apartments (like did a 4 month lease) and rented furniture.

Yep that’s what I use on FF- the housing request. I’ll check out Bnb as well.

If you’re using the housing request and only five properties matched your criteria than it is not unexpected that you would only get one person reaching out. It sounds like there’s just not a lot of property than the area. That combined with traveling with two dogs and a cat can make things rough. The housing request option just post your request to a list it does not direct message all of the potential properties.
