When we engage with trades we do so in a manner as to preserve capital and mitigate any unnecessary expenses which include doing due diligence - which costs money - on something that won't trade.  

Of course, this isn't a sure thing, but I'm sure business operators through AirBnB and other such venues are looking to limit liability as much as possible, and this would can possibly be one way.A close comparison example of my point is the tool of screening tenants.

The hole is only in the plastic covering over the metal screen, It's there to facilitate cleaning of the unit.

If you choose a "no pets" policy for your properties, you are limiting your pool of potential tenants by half right out of the gates - before any actual screening has been done.  

But if you go back to the previous screen, you'll see a $214.62 "direct levy portion" -- click on that and you'll see additional taxes and/or Mello Roos:An additional $214/year isn't too bad, but some areas of Sacramento county get pretty crazy with these direct levies.  

-if you don't screen properly (and sometimes even if you do) you are going to have a lot of headaches on the noise front, especially in apartments-Since they haven't rented before, sometimes they don't know really simple things, like it's their job to change a light bulb, or to stop half-turning off steam radiators. 

Be sure to check your Court Websites to see what applicant's history is, and screen very carefully.  

And I respond to the tenant that if YOUR employer will not confirm your employment, I can not accept your application.Put the illness back on the employee and let him/her chase the problem and mark your screening checklist as "unable to verify employment"Meanwhile, keep accepting applications

I am not saying don't look but screen them and go for the few that look good and make the offer contingent on an inspection, etc.Real suggestion is to decide on a couple of other sources of leads and work those.

Me and my buyers agent are having a bit of a disagreement, and i would appreciate some feedbackAs a general precaution ive always put in the special stipulations"subject to partner's approval"She feels that this weakens our offer & perfers to add a financing contigency sheet, with financing terms that are all but impossible to get.I think this adds more unnecessary complexity to the offer, to acheive the same purposethoughts?
