Actually, I spotted your comment as an after thought, insignificant to me.

with millions of hosts, if you are in a bigger market, there is only a few spots that can be on the first page. 99.99% of hosts will not be on the first page. so making sure you have the most exposure to the most possible guests is the aim. just like a company making a tv commercial to be exposed to the largest audience possible.sorry, i dont think your post is controversial, its just wrong. 

If you dont have the tools and skills to DIY and get yourself out of a tough spot then you can be SOL if the deal goes south.

Too many people just 'want to help dogs' and dive in without a plan.....this ends up with everyone esp the animals in a bad spot....

This is spot on.

It doesn't take long to learn how to spot a good deal.6.

Then let them guide you, play devil's advocate and act as the borrower, and cover your blind spots.

The payments tend to be lower than a standard cash out refi, so if you end up in a tight cash spot, you have the flexibility to pay less for a bit until you get your bearings again. 

I would think that local chapters of builder's associations would be a good spot as well.
