Also think about what can be damaged (tenants generally don't take care of the place as well as you would). 

Lenders desperately need/want business especially in this interest rate environment (right now, the main source of mortgage loan business in Florida is rehab financing as a result of the hurricane damages) and one way the big players differentiate themselves is by streamlining the process.

His God complex and giant ego won't allow him to reflect on the damage he's done  keep in mind if the SEC detects a serious issue and one that could harm investors right now they have the power to take emergency action and shut them down.

When the tenant moves out and the funds are distributed either to the tenant or the landlord for damages, then the subaccount for that specific tenant has a zero balance and that subaccount is closed. 

Several people told me I shouldn’t do this, but it’s one effective way that helped me scale up to 29 SFR in 9 years.

We are currently working with our lawyers to take next steps and get our money back along with damages due to wasted time and investments we missed out on along with other people who they have done this too.

It has good integration, is cost effective, and the direct booking feature is pretty good!

After they book, it's still a good idea to use the platform app for communication because then the platform has a record of what you and the guest have said, in case you need it when a guest does damage and admits it to you, but later denies it to the platform.  

Naturally you need to charge them for any damage to incldue smoke damange 

Are there other, more cost-effective alternatives to gain similar support and knowledge?
