And those facts are the US is loosing, and we have idiots in charge because we select idiots, who's focus is there personal power, personal enrichment, not the job, the country, the long term ramifications. 

The direct booking capabilities offer a choice between charging hosts 1% or 7% of a direct booking, with the primary difference being payment processing and insurance policies.

My team hasn't set up any STRs in the Dominican Republic but we had acquired some STRs in Costa Rica which we had thought we're going to turn out well but we had a few issues to note:- Cashflow issues: Since we are basing our reservations on another currency we couldn't charge as much as we were hoping for. - Finding a Good Team: Since there is a language barrier in place it was much harder to communicate with any cleaning companies/property managers we found. 

However, communication issues with Lacey began almost immediately—she took two weeks just to send me a contract and was frequently unresponsive, blaming weather-related issues.She advertised the property as highly profitable, but when I asked for proof, she never provided any.

For example I understand your brother is in charge of maintenance, but what if he wants to go super cheap on something that breaks later on and it cost more money.

This seems too good to be true.My questions:1) Is it true that these "small cabin getaways" can charge $100 a night?

And, real estate tends to "wobble" quite frequently these days haha.

@Glen Michael we charge an onboarding fee to owners, which they ALWAYS complain about, but they don't want to undertand why it's so important.We use the funds to check:1) Ownership: we verify property is actually properly deeded to their name, LLC, etc. - We've found issues where owners was NOT on the deed and was scammed- We've also had to patiently explain to owners that since an LLC owned the property, that the management contract had to be in the LLC name and we needed proof they could sign for the LLC.2) Property Taxes: we make sure we know the status, to avoid tax foreclosure issues.- Took over several properties for an out-of-country owner last year that we're in the midst of tax foreclosure.

If so, would both borrower and lender be charged the same or just one party?  

I filed a police report regarding the missing property, but that’s unlikely to lead to a charge and conviction.So, what action do I need to take to help a future landlord or a potential LP uncover these facts in their due diligence?
