Hi all - I'm a new STR host and I recently had my first bad guest experience and have some questions about damage protection and guest verification on VRBO specifically.

I recently bought an estate property that was vacant for 6 years. 

I grew up in RI and my dad is a carpenter in the area (was as my parents recently moved to FL) but that got me into that market with some local presence as I stayed in the Boston area. (4) properties and 14 units later, I still find myself investing in RI as the price point is about half of Boston but the cash flow is similar.

Right on, I flipped a duplex out there recently.

My guess is that with the recent fire policy changes in CA there are likely caps on the fire payouts and many homeowners will be in the situation of example 2.

We were offering $300 off first month and just recently increased the incentive to 50% off first month.

I recently saw someone turn around a three-family property there by targeting tenents like teachers and nurses.. stable professionals who value quality housing.

I was talking to an investor who bought a multifamily in San Antonio recently, and the rent growth here has been eye-opening.

A friend in Austin recently added a photo of their library wall, and suddenly they started attracting more “workcation” bookkings.Tailor Your Alt Text to TravelersAirbnb’s AI doesn’t just categorize listings - it also matches them with guest search intent.

Quote from @Nicolas Tow: I recently purchased a 3,125 square foot empty lot in the 27th ward area of Humboldt Park Chicago and I was wondering how difficult it is to re zone from RS-3 to RS3.5 or RT 4.
