Never heard of Host Financial.

Hosts usually take 20%a good host replies to the guests quickly with clear check-in information a good host will troubleshoot thermostats, WiFi, and get the house cleaned and ready quickly for the oncoming guest.

It is nicer to use than a regular chlorine hot tub especially on your skin but I don't know if the maintenance is any better or worse, personally.

I always remember that rockstars know rockstars, so find someone who is a mover and shaker - likely a meetup host - and then ask them who they know.The people doing 100 flips are super busy, so I've also found the best person to find is someone who is a step or two ahead of me...so maybe for you, that is someone doing 2-3 flips a year. 

Im hosting an investor meet-up tonight.

I am seeing a crackdown on STRs not so much as a result of any hotel lobby, but as a result of regular citizens complaining to their elected officials that they don't like living next to a hotel.Can't really blame them.

Could anyone provide guidance on how to obtain the contact information of an underperforming host on Airbnb?

More big name companies will join the STR industry and hosts who are not exceeding expectation will be weeded out by their money power.

Most MTRs in my area include utilities, but my California property has very high utility costs (PG&E - could easily be $1000/month with regular AC/heat use).

Please stop telling new STR hosts to only list on one platform.
