I think response rate is very important because from what I see a lot of calls can be translated into profit even if it's just a referral to a realtor.

There are classes at your community college that could translate into a good paying hourly job like CAD for example.

Any little mistake or wrong answer can cause a ruling of alter ego, invalidating the protection.

In speaking with the tenants with a translator (they do not speak English), they told me that the previous owner new about it and it had been an issue for many years. 

Given the time it takes people to call you back, that alone translated into several days of waiting by the phone.

gclid=CJ-xsOnqwMgCFYySvQod...Here you can post ads and have them translated and even have the responses translated for you if needed.I have a number of Chinese investor friends and one thing I would suggest to anyone wanting to deal with Chinese investors is to make an effort to understand the cultural differences in how they do business.

My legal-to-English translation of the purchase contract is "we won't guarantee anything, we don't know anything, we won't pay for anything, good luck."

Because a short term rental is technically allowed by ordinance doesn't translate into a happy life for you. 

you may want to see if altering your payment settings would make you feel more secure with the VRBO process.No matter how I break up payments for guests I always make the last payment due before check-in day. 

A piece of not so good news for San Diego Airbnb community:http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/touri...In a move that will dramatically alter San Diego’s home sharing landscape, the City Council Monday voted to outlaw vacation rentals in secondary homes, limiting short-term stays to one’s primary residence only.The effect of the action will be to curtail investor activity in the short-term rental market while also barring residents and out-of-towners from hosting short-term stays in multiple properties other than where they reside.Thoughts?
