Feel free to inquire about their staff qualifications if it's a larger organization.2.

From google: “The Fair Housing Act (FHA) does not apply to certain types of rentals, including: Owner-occupied buildings: If the building has four or fewer units and is owned by the person who lives there Single-family homes: If the owner rents or sells the home without using a real estate agent, and they own no more than three homes Religious organizations: If the property is only available to members of the organization's religion Private clubs: If the property is only available to members of the club Senior housing: If the property is designated for people who are at least 55 years old Even if a property is exempt from the FHA, it must still comply with the law's ban on discriminatory statements, notices, or advertising.

We used our own cash we had no private investors.The other critical part was that we negotiated a 3 year wind down if our bank did not renew this was critical in 09 it allowed for a semi organized wind down that most of us in the HML space were doing in 09 to 2011 with all of our defaulted loans..

When you get to rural areas, even in Tuscany, you need to more risk-adverse as the property value might not increase, unless you have another operating business on it like a boutique hotel or vineyard, that you can blast social media influencers to get more people to come.

The experience was really bad as I was getting 1-2 year old leads to cold call that I knew had a 0% success rate and I do much better generating leads organically on my own.

I'm hoping to start some social media campaigns which are completely unrelated to real estate, but if I build up a sizeable audience over the years, then maybe I can get others to invest with me.

Fascinating how all of the reporting about it in the news media was so inaccurate though.

You don't have to spend money  out of the pocket on searching Redfin, making some phone calls, making offers and posting ads on Craiglist or whatever local media you want to use to sell the property.

Emphasize that this was due to the guest’s actions, not an “act of God.”If escalation doesn’t work, consider sharing your experience in Airbnb host forums or on social media to get their attention.

@Karen Margrave Im still interested in coming to the meetups that you were organizing.
