@doinit4Jesus @WNBA @ChennedyCarter Actually they do a diservice.To the game when they go out of their way to try to hurt the girl that is finally bringing attention to the game. Nobody even knew this girls name before today.

Sorry for bitching, but I’m done with #Airbnb Taking the 8 luxury vacation rentals I own and the 13 we manage off their platform. They have no respect for their hosts. I’d rather lose some bookings than get screwed again.

@Camp4 @wecoyote13 I actually don’t think it’s related at all. The people standing up at the back of the plane before the doors opened or the ones in row 24 trying to exit before the ones in row 23 Aren’t high achievers they’re just not smart people.

@RyanShead @ThisIsKyleR I believe a jury of his peers that considered the actual evidence instead of the false narrative found this to not be true.

@thomasc818 I’ve done a fair amount of cycling and can’t imagine why there’s so much bitching about things that really aren’t that much of an issue. Just stop crying and go. Around.

A 4 year old girl just drowned in my neighbors pool during a kids birthday party. It’s devastating. I guess the reason I’m posting this is I cant keep this shitty feeling inside and to remind people how quickly this can happen. People think with so many people around at a party.

@slicktrilly1 @Jerrythekid21 Whatever the case, that was 50 years ago, this guy wasn’t making the decisions, just willing to die for his country. Is it not ok to appreciate that?.

Guests at STRs aren’t afraid to leave the windows open all day with the AC on whilst at the beach, run the fire pit and bbq 24/7, and take 4 hour showers.

@JulieChangRE I don’t think every buyer knows enough to transact themselves but most people who are in a position to buy a $1.5 million house probably have the resources to do it without paying $45,000 in fees.

@AlexBerenson It be great if you chilled out on Twitter for a while Alex. He bought the company a week ago. And I’m pretty sure he didn’t buy the company to lose money on top of the 44 billion he already spent.

Just found out we paid over $19,000 in propane bills on one property over the course of three months. My office manager didn’t think twice about paying the bills without alerting me to how outrageous they were.

My 17yo son just joined Twitter. He’s a junior in high school. He joined to learn more about business and real estate. Who would be the best follows? I’d prefer he follow the best 20-30 accounts and not 200-300. #reese53boyd.

@Suzanne08053 @trentjhughes The thing is, they don’t need to have anything else on their menu. They don’t need to appeal to everyone. There’s always a long line there.

That’s our house down at the end. it has a history of flooding. Does anyone have an opinion as to whether the government has any responsibility for an adequate infrastructure?

I was sent an investment package yesterday. The idea is to build container homes and STR them on BLM land. They would have to be moved 20 miles every 14 days. The plan seemed to have a few holes.

@col_the_midlife @BrianColunio I’m a great tipper. I tip 15% when I pick up fast food or Everbowl. I tip over 20% at restaurants.But why should I give the same 20+ % Tip to the bartender with a shitty attitude and lazy service as I do to the friendly waitress who is going out of her way to give A+ experience?.

@KalibKoons Just the latest issue. Guest stays 4 nights w/o communication even though we check in. 2 days after checkout they make complaints to Airbnb. Airbnb never communicates with us and they give guest 35% refund + cleaning fee.

We live in a neighborhood of about 200 tract homes. Avg. price $1.7mil. My son wants to start a business taking out and bringing in trash cans for homeowners. $5/ week. Would you do this? What do you think of his pricing?.

@JulieChangRE This has to be fake. There’s no way anyone is really charging extra to play pool when it’s listed as an amenity or put out.A note saying not to use the chair because it’s their deceased husbands. This is definitely a joke.

@shawngorham SDGE turned off our power and one of our STR‘s. Have a $12,000 booking checking in tomorrow. SDGE claims we never got certificate of occupancy. In fact, we only had a permit for remodel. Four hours into trying to get power turned back on.

@Shenanigans_ATL Seems like if there’s 6 feet of unblocked sidewalk you wouldn’t have to weave at all? In fact, I think a normal sized sidewalk is probably only about 6 feet wide.

@GuyTalksFinance @Ron_Benfield @SamDodd1 If Dave Ramsey used reasonable debt to by real estate he’d have $2 billion in real estate. Also, his business afforded him the ability to do that, most people need reasonable leverage to make it work.

@markjenney Great point. I did not factor that in. That being said, I think you also need to factor in leverage and the other benefits of owning real estate.

Bought a house we are currently rehabbing directly across the street from one of our STRs. Stopped by early this AM to check on progress. Heard hammering across the street. Our guest had a hammer and was pounding in loose nails on our fence.🤷♂️.

We had about $250,000 worth of damage at this house. Uninsured. The SBA is doing loans for disaster assistance. The rates range between 4% and 8%. 4% if you have shitty credit 8% if you have excellent credit. Our government is so fucked up.

We have removed all properties from Airbnb except one 3 who’s owners insists on keeping on the platform (we’ve shown them how we can keep revenue). #airbnb suspended one of those listings this AM. Definitely retaliation!.

@AjOsborne1 I disagree and less you’re doing background checks on the people using their own identity. I understand Dismissing opinions from accounts like mine with no real history but some of these guys are posting every day and clearly have very valid things to say.

I have a property with over 160 reviews w/avg 4.68. I haven’t had less than five stars in over three years, but the early years were rough. What’s the point of including 7 year old reviews?.

@rohindhar Curious about when you recognize the revenue? If you get paid in July on a 2 week stay that is mostly in August, how do you handle it? We have 2 properties VRBO pays us when reservation is made. Makes some months look great and others 👎🏻.

@KalibKoons When I finally get in touch with Airbnb they refuse to let me talk to supervisor. The low level rep working overseas with poor English is rude and dismissive. Promises to try to fix it. 4 minutes after hanging up tlhe sends message saying he fought for me but case is closed.

First wedding at our Airbnb/wedding venue. Driving a shuttle van myself from a local casino to the wedding. This is a trial run to see how everything goes. Works great just as a STR, so we’ll see if the extra money is worth the hassle. #weddingvenueguy

@RyanDanz Airbnb allowed a 21 YO to book our highest end home (we restrict under 30). Airbnb cancelled. Friends mom books. I inform her she needs to be there at checkin and throughout stay. She thought I was bluffing. Never showed. Cost her $5,500.

@mortgagetruth I had another issue where guest claimed house was unsafe due to lack of railing from deck. Total of 3 steps and there’s a railing on one side. Meets current code. Airbnb gave 30% off entire stay. They’re out of control.

@sweatystartup Parents should take their kids out of school (at this age) for things like this without hesitation. Can’t tell how many parents won’t take vacations, etc. because their first grader has school.

We’re going to spin up a pool cleaning service. Tired of getting hosed by the company we’ve been using for years. Plan on offering pool cleaning and blowing the yard with an emphasis on STRs . Any suggestions to make this appealing/more profitable?.

In the past I just accepted “orphan” days. I recently started offering discounts to guests on both ends to see if they wanted to extend and make that date a 1 day min. On the calendar. Just booked one night for $1495 in June and have filled 3 other days with existing guests.

Gut feeling:. Owner managed or professionally managed STRs offer a better product than arbitraged STRs.
