Houfy now has a damage protection plan that costs the guests $5 a night and does light identity screening through SuperHog. 

Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Zachary YoungRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I just had tenants move out of my investment property (duplex) without paying for the last month's rent, and the damage they inflicted onto the property exceeds their security deposit amount.

From designing the marketing materials to engaging and closing the prospective investor Matt and his team have every aspect of this training covered.

Aircover is a mild form of property damage insurance where they MAY cover a guest's damage at their discretion, and you will have to fight for it. 

This allowed us to maximize revenue and occupancy more effectively.Safely Insurance: We also decided to use Safely Insurance, which provides comprehensive coverage for guest damages, liability, and protection beyond what Airbnb or Vrbo offer.

If all prospects and leads come from yourself, then you are operating your own business.

I would love to maximize cash flow but also do not want to be left on an island if there is damage.
