VRBO bookings have been down Airbnb bookings have been up, but it has its own problems like siding with a guest who trashed my house with unauthorized party , truly if I had the time I would try to get off these platforms and go direct to customer, easier said than done. 

I am looking forward to buy  my first  condo or a town house in fort Myers/ Bonita spring area and would like to rent it out when I am not in the states.

They have been on a month to month lease since 2023 and we gave them 30 days to find new housing.

It's in great school districts, so I just listed those in the ad in a neutral, factual manner, which I believe won't violate fair housing laws as long as I avoid implying a preference. 

I fear the lawyers will become wealthy over this litigation...Overall, it's an interesting "solution" to the problem of foreign investment in real estate and the lack of adequate housing for the population. 

My favorite was a hoarder house full of trash that took me six months to turn around, but it turned into a killer deal that earned me a 600% return.

I bought a duplex house near Scranton this past year and it is rented out .
