When I look at my exit strategies I am always looking at it from a portfolio view instead of just a single property.

@Don KonipolI view these trends as both things that people are participating in AND things that are being done to them.Silicon Valley hires the best and brightest to make phones, social media, games and apps addictive. 

From a 10,000ft view (if it was a real investment property) $29k profit (24% ROI) over 5 years is pretty slim.

You will be too detached.5 is required in some states and not in others so a lot if left to your viewing on-site so if you are not seeing it in person, you need full photos and videos of every part of the basement and attic so you have an idea of where the trouble lies before making an offer.

Because of this, they have changed their fee structure on me two times in the past two years2) They don't have back up cleaners so when the cleaner can't clean, they block off my calendar3) They do not have easily legible financial statements and do not provide 1099s 4) They have made decisions that have required my money without consent5) They block off check-ins on Sundays6) They are not great with technology - though they try to use hostfully to list on many platforms, I will frequently see that my listing is not up on VRBO for example.

I am focused on the income side not the number of bookings from different platforms.

Taxing authorities and the booking platforms are now getting half or more of the pie. 

You came to the right platform with many individuals like yourself! 

I opted to remove them and manage the property myself, utilizing platforms like Facebook Marketplace to find contractors.

Now I changed to 30+ booking only, and I've received two inquiries for viewing the place.
