Co-Star.

Guest has been on my VRBO calendar for a couple of monthsWe require picture ID (our HOA is strict about being over 25 years old) (House Rule)We also require a signature on a short rental agreement (House Rule)The Guest paid one payment but his second payment is overdueGuest says he already paid the second payment (VRBO told him he did not)The reservation came through Expedia since they are partners with VRBOGuest has so far delayed sending me his ID and rental agreement for several weeks VRBO said that the guest says he paid and he will not pay againI can't cancel his reservation without it affecting my superhost metricsI'm not sure if he will cancel - because if he does he loses 100% of his payment (unless I give it back to him)He's probably mad and my 5 star average rating will likely go down (have twelve, 5-stars so far -just getting started)Thanks for your help!

The Book On Flipping Houses or Millionaire Real Estate Investor are great places to star.

A few weeks ago on Instagram I received a marketing ad for a free real estate course hosted by the stars of the show Flip or Flop on HGTV.

The 2 main things in my opinion is you have to know what buildings to look for (buildings that legally allow STRs, and have high occupancy rates), and you also have to know how to run your Airbnb business correctly to be capitalizing on your returns (attractive photos, great guest communication, proper amenities provided, and most important of all-5 star reviews)When both these are done correctly, you can have a very high cash flow, a property that you can almost be sure will appreciate well over time, and a vacation spot in Waikiki for your family to enjoy!

Also, make sure you find a really good cleaning company - Airbnb runs on reviews and you really need to have a nice clean place to get the 5 stars.

I have been to many of these events as an invited guest .. and people do get caught up in it..the one I went to in Vegas the Vegas summit that had the flippin Vegas show stars that showed up for a cameo.. they did about 45 minutes of Q and A and they were out of there.but again what they did in that market and whats reality today is just apples and oranges..

It might have been reassessed after the foreclosure, or previously had STAR, or some other trickery that costs you $1,000 a year after the fact. 

Since people cannot actually see the stars given by the reviewer I'd remove the part about not warranting 5 stars.
