Take notes and photos to document everything.

It takes a little work to move your personal belongings out (paperwork, photos, special items), but it's worth it to have someone covering my mortgage and then some while I travel.

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

My upper cabinet is the first photo, bottom cabinets were the same till now.

If they are ghosting you, start by taking photos of everything and itemize their bill. 

Their fine VERY Fine print states this but is clouded by very good marketing videos, stacks of money photos, testimonials with first names and their states a etc.  

Don't assume all professional photos are the same.  

You can see all the easy stuff in the photos if it's online.

He understood what troubles I experience self managing from afar as well.There's no start up fees, no lease renewal fee, minimal charges of I find my own tenant using them to only place the lockbox and take photos, otherwise it is 75%. 

Can you change the title, order of photos, edit the listing description, add a bottle of wine and goodies during low season to attract more booking.
