I am reviewing multiple offerings from the crowd funded platforms and want to get your opinions.

@Lachanda Finley - You should definitely give our platform NestEgg a look. 

You can reach out through this platform on BP and we can set up a time to chat.

Thank you for your encouragement.

I encourage you to continue to build relationships and communicate with those on forms such as this.

At first I thought AirBnB was trying to protect me from a problem booking but then I did some googling and found the following thread. https://community.withairbnb.com/t5/Hosting/Is-Airbnb-replacing-Hosts-with-Hotels/td-p/1273241I also find it odd that AirBnB would direct the guest to book hotels they manage rather than bump them from the platform altogether, especially if it's a problem booking. 

They encourage me to get into it, but just warn me about the horrors that they had to endure as landlords.

I'd encourage you to check out StayFi, so you can collect emails from all your guests (not just the booker), and then send them an automated email when they log into WiFi.

Thanks to all who have read this and who are on this awesome platform!

As a fresh agent it is essential to have a solid network to encourage you as well offer some leads.
