You often see them in coastal areas where the houses are on stilts to prevent damage from king tides or storm damage from flooding.They were a way to do foundations pre-1900 in a lot of areas, especially here in the northwest.

What happens if the box shows up wrong or damaged?

We allow pets and the large yard is fully fenced, plus a small park 1 block away.

Rental Open Houses don't work, but you can create a modified Open House by creating response texts that go over the requirements and then put all showings within a two hour block so you don't have to go so many times.

It’s really damaging to tenants. 

Recently, with two separate inquiries (different dates, different groups), things didn't work out.VRBO Pre-Approval blocks those dates in your calendar for 72 hours. !!

He doesn't have to worry about a rough needing replaced or a tenant causing $20k in damages after one year living in property.  

Airbnb offers $3M damage protection insurance (AirCover) if guests don't pay for the damages they cause, and $1M liability insurance if a guest gets hurt or their belongings are stolen.That being said, I too do not allow instant booking or most last-minute long-term bookings out of nowhere.

@Adam OrtizRecommend 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?

They also chose to use roku tvs without a physical on button. just terrible, terrible build quality. bought 4 and 2 are already damaged after a year.
