After a guest stole out TV's and filed a claim on their credit card payment - and VRBO did NOTHING to assist us, we checked out what Airbnb would have done. 

Brittany, you need to start your own thread.I would clean the oven, as others have said,  it should have been clean when she moved in.I have a long-term but pain-in-the-*** tenant who wanted a new dishwasher simply because the old was too loud and interfering with his TV watching.  

been a bigger pockets viewer for just over a year now with past investments in flipping single family dwellings.

You have basic finishes like laminate counters, 30" cabinets, a coil stove a TV sitting on a bar stool and your pool doesn't have a hot tub, that alone is losing you bookings. 

(TV subscription needed, but should be available soon widely).

I would rather spend my time looking for RE, spending time with friends and family, traveling, watching my favorite sports teams, watching good movies or tv shows.  

I'm also married, trying to protect three teenagers from their own stupidity, run a business with seven employees, etc.I consider myself a success story, but I have C-class rentals in a small market nobody knows/cares about, and I don't have the infectious personality that makes for good TV.

:)Look for those that: are NOT on the top of the search engine lists when you do a search; that you do NOT see/hear on tv/radio ads; etc! 

In the future, consider getting permission in writing via text or email.Most people don't care, and the pictures usually aren't detailed enough for a viewer to see anything personal like documents, family photos, etc.

Any slick new solutions to troubleshoot tech issues with residents (usually tv or internet questions)?
