If they try to pay their labor as 1099 they run at great risk of violating a host of draconian labor laws such as AB5, the borello law and a litany of "misclassification" laws.There are substantial differences in how "right to work" statstate as operate as opposed to "non right to work" states.SBA defines a small business based on employees and revenue size.

This past weekend, the guests tripped the circuit breaker and neither the guest, host, or co-host knew how to locate and reset the breaker.

I heard a podcast the other day with a host saying something along the lines of "there's 3 phases of investing: starting, scaling, and harvesting."

I'd hop on Airbnb as a guest, search the area the potential property is in, and find some properties that are somewhat comps (similar location, amenities, size, etc.) and connect with the host hosting the property.

Specifically, Sections 4735.18(A)(24), 4735.18(A)(27) and 4735.18(A)(30) require a host of recordkeeping, reporting, and trust and security obligations, all of which we have reason to believe have been neglected by Jeff Swiecicki in connection with the Property Management Agreements.My attorney is still in communication with Jeff Swiecicki and we intend to litigate if he fails to return funds immediately.Based on these factual events and Jeff Swiecicki’s continued unprofessional and deceptive behavior, it is my strong recommendation to avoid doing business with him or any business associated with him.
