I didn’t want to deal with the guest saying “I’m not paying for this”, potential showing up an leaving me a 1-star review because “the bed is uncomfortable” or “there were bugs” (which they conveniently discarded before being able to photograph), etc.I might see this as retaliatory based on my knowledge of the property and previous reviews, but I’m not sure Airbnb would see it that way.

Others pretty well covered it, especially Wesley pointing out the environmental issues.

@Wesley W. thank you for the information.

So far I have been looking at properties mostly in the Brandon/Riverview and Wesley Chapel/Land O Lakes areas. 

I'm in the Wesley Chapel area which is a North of Tampa, but not as far as Spring Hill.

@Wesley Davis Absolutely man!

I know what it takes to get those 5 star reviews and how to make your unit shine after a messy tenant.

Once you know the avatar of your ideal guest, you'll also get a lot more 5 star reviews by attracting the people who will love your property. 

My debt to income ratio was too high to buy B class properties, so rather than going back to watching dancing with the stars I started buying distressed D and C class properties in cash and placing Section 8 tenants in them.My advice is to buy in the outskirts of a rough area rather than dead smack in the center, at least in the beginning. 

I visited a team in Florida, liked them but couldn’t bring myself to jump in all the way since I wanted to own my own properties in GA where my daughter lives.I was very fortunate in having dinner with a couple of BP Rock Stars during my stay in GA.
