So many hosts in the area do not, and just lost all their income for the season!

I recommend that you talk to a licensed debt collection company or a law firm on collection action.

I'm not a CPA, EA, or tax professional, but I appreciate the time and years it takes to practice in this space and I'm a firm believer in paying for good tax advice! 

I even reached out to hosts on Airbnb, and one said to call the city planner to get my STR permit. 

I am a firm believer in net asset prices hurting after the first rate cut materialzies, and am a firm believer REI prices get correction per market when inventory tightens to demand.

maybe not, but you should be firm with the tenants in your expectations as the landlord or the lease means nothing, and you will continue to have a hard time. 

I’ve been hosting for three years and recently encountered an issue I hadn’t faced before: an alteration request to check out earlier during a stay.

I negotiated with the firm who was handling the case on behalf of the bank to address the arrears to reinstate the loan and take over payments.

Since roughly 75%+ of travelers bring pets, this would be a great opportunity for any host to make more income.

. ** I’d ask for their Airbnb or VRBO profile link to review their reviews, years hosting, etc. to ensure it lines up with what they’re telling you*2.) with you guys being out of town, I’d make positive they have a team of maintenance guys for whenever something along the lines pop up.
