My thought is there are cultural influences at play here  People can call me racist or prejudice all they want.I'm none and never will be.I'm realist but there is something to be said about cultural influences mate.I've witnessed many of them over 5,000+ investor intro calls and will leave it that.I'll protect my company and team first and foremost.Revenue and profit is secondary.Who $#@%'s on my team, $#%@'s on me also and we fire them in a heart beat.The team works way to hard to get abused via email, etc...

It sounds like you have a decent lead if it's been abandoned for a while and is in some level of disrepair.If you email me one of the owner names and the property address I don't mind pulling some reports for you.  

From the host perspective, the app does not keep me logged in and I end up just seeing an email way after the fact. 

You should also start networking directly with companies in your area and letting them know that you’re a temporary housing provider. 

I think it sends email when payment is made, however when a maintenance request is made I’m not alerted.

A link to FilePlace is at the bottom of every page, so it is easy to find.If you have technical issues, send an email to [email protected] and someone will help you.

DM me if your interested in being added to future email notifications.

I complained but was explained I'm not the "bill to" party, so they don't have to notify me.Nowadays, everything is online, so all I have to do is log into my account, download the online bills and forward a copy to my tenant via email or by smart phone, all done in a minute.

My Vrbo account manager sent me this today:There are substantial cancellation fees if you initiate a cancellation.May of this year they also listed a temporary 7-day suspension of your listing.They really really don't want you cancelling a booking.If something comes up try to get the guest cancel the reservation.

I was looking to buy a home from him last year but he blasted me in an email for looking him up on @biggerpockets  in this post, so I stopped communication.
