Who is monitoring budgets and spend?

She monitored the bookings and asked me to slash my prices in hopes of getting bookings.

Since Landlords are going to be monitored even more now with the price gouging issues surrounding the fires in LA, I would be extra cautious.

Additionally, I am beginning to believe you don't live there to be the "house monitor" as this seems to be going on for a time period. 

I appreciate you're thoughtfulness and I will continue monitoring this thread to see if any other good ideas come up that we can all use. 

You'll be able to monitor everything a lot easier if you can invest in your own backyard and won't have to jump on a flight or incur any unneeded expenses. 

I would recommend that you don't ignore it; repair the drywall, monitor it and see if the drywall cracks in the same locations again.

If you hire someone typically they are the ones providing this information, but if someone is paying you, then yes they need this information for tax purposes.BTW - I would say your SS# has been hacked so many times and is on the black market already this is why we monitor ours through other parties or just lock it down at experian and other agencies if you are concerned about it.

That’s definitely something to monitor.

Smart thermostats, in particular, can help you monitor energy use and lower costs between stays.I hope everyone’s experiences and perspectives help guide you as you start this journey!
