A 5-day booking scheduled to check in tomorrow just cancelled, so I'm out 5 days of revenue with almost zero hope of rebooking.While I'm all for people being responsible about their travel plans, I'm not all for hosts getting hosed - if AirBNB wants to play travel insurer, they should do it with their money, not mine.This is one of many reasons I'm glad my STRs have fat margins, because if this goes on for long there's going to be belt-tightening happening!

Challenges for this project included my former plumber taking forever, the appraiser hosing me on the final appraisal, and my inability to devote enough personal time to perform the small labor that I like to do on the rehab.

Not to mention the class-action suits that are coming here and governments stepping up in other countries where local economies were completely hosed by them.

If you get into working with tenants and realize you hate it, at lease you only have one person to deal with vs. 20+.3) You can learn the business and the law at a steady pace vs. drinking from a fire hose. 

That is only because you are getting hosed on the sale price. 

Fernando,It's not really a garage, it's more like a shed and I plan to convert that family room to a bedroom+bath so It wouldn't work to have access to that bedroom  Haha, I know it's really hard to fight the temptation of spending too much money on a house, and I don't think plumbing would be an issue at all since the hose is pier and beam

However, there is a part of me that is absolutely furious that scum like this can just take advantage of me and because I follow the law, I get to just smile while I get hosed by the process.

The valve can be rotated so it faces sideways to allow a hose to be hooked to it. 

Light on exterior of the house needs to be fixed, that's minor.6) Recommends anti-siphon valves be added to the hoses, hose valve damaged7) Locking mechanism on exterior door is missing and needs to be fixed8) One window has frame missing the bottom section of the frame.

By this time the floor is soaked and full of crap and I said the hell with it and broke out the garden hose .
