I recently read a short article (link below) about Airbnb petitioning the government that the company and its hosts should be treated as the hotel industry and included in any disaster relief - couldn't agree more given Airbnb's awful cancellation strategy overriding hosts default settings.https://www.phocuswire.com/Airbnb-asks-for-government-support?

It is very similar to the regular flu so the cure is to hydrate, manage your symptoms, keep your fevers low, eat well, sleep well and let our amazing bodies take care of it.The hysteria is interesting but I am no longer shocked by it as I have witnessed a few snow storms since moving here and the reaction is very similar. 

They are no longer my competitors.That said, consolidating your loan if your buying on the regular is a good idea.

I hear people all the time (like on the BP Podcast) describing how they call, or even have Virtual Assistants call, and the hosts praise them for their brilliance.

As was already mentioned, this would be a prohibited transaction for a regular SDIRA or SD401K plan. 

I requested a Redemption of my funds from fundrise back in January and they won't release them.Here is what they said:Fundrise Advisors, in our capacity as Manager of the eREITs and eFunds, has determined that it is necessary at this time to suspend the processing and fulfillment of redemption requests.While under normal market conditions, we seek to provide investors with the ability to redeem their investments on a regular basis, during times of financial crisis or extreme uncertainty, it is absolutely critical that we suspend redemptions in order to protect the interests of all our investors.As Manager, we have an obligation to make decisions based upon what is best for the entire Fundrise investor community and must always put the priorities of the whole above any one individual.Fundamentally, Fundrise investors own real property, which is simply not liquid. 

We just spent 10 days doing our typical "Spring upkeep"We sanded down solid wood kitchen cabinets, primed and painted them.Had a bulb burned out under the microwave.Fixed some screens on the screened back porch.Touched up some paint on the dock.Cleaned out flower beds.Steam Cleaned CarpetsFixed a bedroom door that wasn't latching properlyEtc.For those of you using a PM:Does you PM regular inspect to catch small things like a microwave light burned out?

A 5-day booking scheduled to check in tomorrow just cancelled, so I'm out 5 days of revenue with almost zero hope of rebooking.While I'm all for people being responsible about their travel plans, I'm not all for hosts getting hosed - if AirBNB wants to play travel insurer, they should do it with their money, not mine.This is one of many reasons I'm glad my STRs have fat margins, because if this goes on for long there's going to be belt-tightening happening!

@Matt Lorentsen have you looked at running regular doorbells? 

However, there are also shared costs associated with running the LLC (bank interest, email hosting, accounting systems, property management systems, business liability insurance, business licenses, etc.).I have done forum and internet searches trying to determine the answer but have not come across anything of value.
