I am about to have an Airbnb going in the next couple months and can’t have my guests leaving bad reviews stating that their car was blocked in or somebody was in there spot while they were trying to pull in.

I get a large response because its a really nice house in a really nice area, so I spent considerable amount of time talking, emailing, showing, reviewing, screening, etc.That and now that it’s been listed, delisted, and listed again I fear I’ll have a more difficult time because people will assume either there is something wrong with the house, or it’s a scam.To be honest, I’m a little worried these people are scamming me, we will be holding funds until the check is completely cleared and will be following up with the bank.
