They will are used to verify your identity, not where you reside.I purchased a few homes while I was working for an airline in the cities I was based in and never changed my DL nor plates on my car. 

It was much more about the control of how agents are treated and eliminating the aforementioned "big company BS".The most difficult thing I've found is recruiting, even though I offer a 75% commission split, $1M E&O, CRM, agent websites, etc.It turns out that most agents are happy where they are, and I suspect that a lot of their personal identity and branding is tied up with whatever company they're working for. 

Two identical houses a half mile away may not sell for the same price.

The new pro-host ones I'm glad to see are:1) Ground rules for guestsSimpler ground rules, supported by stronger accountability policies, help ensure guests treat every home with care and respect.2) Retaliatory review protectionsWe’ve expanded the reasons a review can be disputed and are allowing Hosts to request removal of any retaliatory reviews in their history.3) Easier AirCover for Hosts claims processHosts can now file a reimbursement request in just a few easy steps and track its status on the Today Tab. 4) Guest identity verificationOur comprehensive verification system checks details such as name, address, government ID, and more to confirm the identity of guests who book on Airbnb.

Fortunately, this is less of a problem today with so many people working from home.A second issue which always plagued Yonkers is that the rent regulations are (almost) identical to NYC.

You will DEFINITELY find lenders/brokers selling a nearly identical product in the 7s and 8s but don't settle for that. 

I am primarily interested in it do to the fact that the price seems like a steal and is priced identically to a home I am looking at in Beechgrove that is only a 2bed -1bath and about half the size, and needs similar repairs.

My searches were so specific in Vegas where every house is almost identical.
