They know who their primary audience is, people who are broke, newly interested in real estate (maybe from tiktok), and want to get rich off of possible income without putting in the effort to make a bunch of money.

with millions of hosts, if you are in a bigger market, there is only a few spots that can be on the first page. 99.99% of hosts will not be on the first page. so making sure you have the most exposure to the most possible guests is the aim. just like a company making a tv commercial to be exposed to the largest audience possible.sorry, i dont think your post is controversial, its just wrong. 

The Turner interview is what brought them into my attention.

Unfortunately, the end of 2024 has brought a string of financial challenges for my family, and I’m feeling the pressure.Two weeks ago, I was laid off from my job.

He brought 100% of the funds for this deal.

MTR brought in 75% of the gross and more of the net due to lower cleaning fees for turning over the STR.For gross numbers we brought in about 1.2% of the ARV value in monthly rent this year which is decent based on the rules of thumb at least. 

@Dave Hagen brought up a very good point. 

Oddly, they both really didnt like eachother, but this contracter brought in money and the addict was, well, an addict.

When I brought up the cleaning fee he threatened to just leave once the end of the month was up and he'd have his gf clean for free which has not happened to this point already. 

In driving past our property, we saw that a bunch of fill dirt was brought in for elevation/grading.We also did a visit to Pine Island which has a lot of areas of worse damage.
