there are plenty of baltimore agents in the forums that could easily answer any questions you have. if you have "baltimore" as a keyword alert (that would be a pro tip for you to see everything that comes up related to baltimore), you'll see those same agents habitually comment on associated threads.

This gives plenty of time for a bad check to be discovered (which has never happened).I LOVE off platform bookings for the following reasons:My payment provider is cheaper than AirBnB and VRBOs.I have FULL control of the reservation.I have FULL control over the security deposits.I can enforce cancellation fees.I'm not a slave to the reviews.I receive the funds immediately, and don't have to pay the advanced payout fees.Guests pay the credit card fees (still cheaper than the VRBO / AirBnB fees so most are happy to do so)Guests appreciate saving on the fees.This is all VERY easy to setup using OwnerRez.
