Questions like this often get better and more actionable responses.Also, keep in mind that while this site is an incredible resource, opinions can sometimes come across as blunt.

@Jacob Morgenstern I'd love the opportunity to show this to you in action on your next deal.

Most importantly, go take action and make it happen. 

Maybe that's not "illegal" but it is potentially actionable.

Emphasize that this was due to the guest’s actions, not an “act of God.”If escalation doesn’t work, consider sharing your experience in Airbnb host forums or on social media to get their attention.

But keep in mind if your using money you cant afford to get back then buying action property might not be appropriate for your current endeavors and its better to just buy open market were you can do proper due diligence and know you have a build-able site.

It also has some lesser known classics such as Popeye, Elevator Action, Gorf etc.  

Purchase price: $86,000 Cash invested: $2,500 After being done with Rich Dad, Poor Dad, several podcasts (including bigger pockets), and other resources we were desperate to take action.

Hmm, what I was originally asking was something like this - what do you think is the best course of action:1) Get a 200k loan (3-4% interest, 5 years to repay) Use this to make a 100% cash purchase of 1, 2, or 3 properties in a C class neighborhood, and do the minimum rehab to make it rent-ready. 2) Get a 200k loan (3-4% interest, 5 years to repay) Use this to make the down payment on multiple properties, finance the remainder of those purchases with whatever loan options are available - probably only DSCR. 3) Something else entirely... 

Again, crickets and no action from her.
