Cell phone service can be spotty depending on provider (1-2 bars).Guests (who is also a host) got there late yesterday evening for a 6-day stay.

While the real estate market in the Dallas area was scorching hot, and everyone was paying well over asking, the foreseeable correction in the market still loomed like a dark cloud and was never far from my thoughts.

Hosted by Jake and Gino.

A lot of unlicensed & uninsured people advertise hosting services, but then you have little recourse against them if they screw you.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

That’s a small window, but that’s how most hosts operate.  

All are hosted either by Active Duty, Reserve/Guard, or recently separated/retired members:- Military Cashflow podcast with @Dan Wynn and Mike Glaspie- The Military Millionaire podcast with David Pere and Alex Felice- Active Duty Passive Income podcast with Kevin Brenner

Anyone have any experience as a host within the Villages?

Or tips on being a good host?

If you must flip in a flood zone here are some things you should do/know1) Find out where in the flood zone the property is located and the last time it flooded2) Ask the seller for the elevation certificate and see in any preventative work has been done to stop flooding or reduce the insurance rate 3) Review your ARV number, make sure its extremely conservative as the flood zone will probably result in a lower than average price (also make sure the comps you run are in the same flood zone if possible)4) If you take on the flip make sure you provide extra info about the status of the flood insurance and provide written flood insurance quotes for potential buyers5) Water proof the home if it makes sense to6) Host open houses often, don't trust agents to break down flood insurance and the risks associated to potential buyers, it won't happen.Those few steps should help, know your numbers and if they don't make sense don't be afraid to pass on this one, remember no deal is better than a bad deal.
