However, communication issues with Lacey began almost immediately—she took two weeks just to send me a contract and was frequently unresponsive, blaming weather-related issues.She advertised the property as highly profitable, but when I asked for proof, she never provided any.

I am about to submit to the IRS my log of 500+ hours working in the STR business, most of which come from communicating with guests, cleaners, maintenance people, Airbnb, VRBO, and managing supplies, shopping, bill paying, pricing, calendars, all the daily and weekly tasks.
