It sounds like you're off to a great start.

If you treat it like a business, you'll make money, if you treat it like a hobby, it'll cost you money. 

I have spoken with him several times already but it's like talking to the wall.

Again I think this will only work if the taxes don't require escrowing $500 to $600 per month for an area like Park Forest.  

I haven’t undertaken a project like this yet, but I am looking forward to it.

I have basically 1) rewarded poor tenant behavior 2) tenant has no eviction on their record making it more challenging for a LL to determine that the tenant has been paid before and seeing it worked so well is likely to repeat the same $hit.  

We can train it however you'd like; the aim is to modernise AirBnB's to get better reviews (and also stop guests from messaging you directly with silly questions).

One of the pics looks like there may be some water erosion from under the slab. 

It's always a good idea to screenshot the guests' info as soon as they book, in case Airbnb shuts you down like this and it disappears off their site.
