I don't personally like to use Airbnb for this because at the very least they're in the driver's seat for that first 30 days.

Guest has been on my VRBO calendar for a couple of monthsWe require picture ID (our HOA is strict about being over 25 years old) (House Rule)We also require a signature on a short rental agreement (House Rule)The Guest paid one payment but his second payment is overdueGuest says he already paid the second payment (VRBO told him he did not)The reservation came through Expedia since they are partners with VRBOGuest has so far delayed sending me his ID and rental agreement for several weeks VRBO said that the guest says he paid and he will not pay againI can't cancel his reservation without it affecting my superhost metricsI'm not sure if he will cancel - because if he does he loses 100% of his payment (unless I give it back to him)He's probably mad and my 5 star average rating will likely go down (have twelve, 5-stars so far -just getting started)Thanks for your help!

I recommend the major cities in Ohio:-Columbus, great for appreciation, pp is a bit higher around $220k for multifamily-Cincinnati, has a mix of cash flow and appreciation, average multifamily around $180k-Cleveland, has alot of cashflow potential, average multifam around $140kThere are other smaller markets like Dayton, Akron, and Toledo, however there is not alot of economic drivers to those areas.Looking for cashflow?

It's likely more than background noise, but less than a primary driver(this is personal intuition speaking, not something garnered from hard data.)But inflation is one of those situations where perception becomes reality.

Time for you to get in the driver's seat.

I am currently a professional driver over the road.

I would be mindful of the demand drivers and supply barriers.

I guess the email I sent to the loan officer and manager about how mad I was at the process disqualified me from the survey.

:) I guess you can't be mad for a guy trying though right?

I was mad at my states $300/yr fee lol) and you have to operate in a manner that doesn't mix your LLC with personal which is a whole thing to learn.
