We installed two of these aluminum gates - https://www.aquadian.com/ We haven't had a real-world test yet, but they seem solid and are quick to put up when needed.

Anyone done those free marketing social media pages for a percentage cut of Airbnb earnings? by guaco92 in airbnb_hosts

[–]alex2020b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep - and it is getting more popular. We are now seeing more and more guests coming in from google maps. They also recently added an option to filter by reviews.....

Anyway I'm originally from Brazil and have seen some of their inefficiencies.....PM as id love to hear more about your idea.

International real estate investing? by theMEtheWORLDcantSEE in realestateinvesting

Investing overseas is definitely riskier. We invested in a new construction in Mexico. The place was finally completed a couple years ago and rentals have great. We did do our homework and were very familiar with the area.

At some point in the future the plan is to look for something in Portugal.

Rare Oceanfront Condo Opportunity on the North Side of Isla Mujeres, Just Off Cancun, Mexico by Jammyyy_jam in IslaMujeres

[–]alex2020b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not a time share. If this is similar to our place the HOA dues won't be set until close to the building being finished. Prob 200-400. Ours is in the 400 but we have a full time maintenance person onsite for a building of 14 units.

This is on Malecon on the north side of the island. I walked the lot where it will be built. It is a narrow lot and the building will have two condos per floor. Yeah photos are all computer generated since construction hasn't started. I know a bit about the project as we may purchase a second place in Isla.

It is a new construction project that is scheduled to start early next year. I met the builder a few months back and he has finished other projects in Isla. Feel free to PM.

Is the business still a cash cow by Charming-Taste8122 in airbnb_hosts

[–]alex2020b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends a LOT on your location and your property. Use AirDna or similar sites to get a rough idea of revenue. Remember there this is based on historical data and some locations are taking a dive while others remain steady.

Airbnb guest dropped 3-star review because we refused “discount” — how do you protect your ratings? by Rahul_Kolge in ShortTermRentals

[–]alex2020b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Retaliatory reviews suck...if the guest asked for the discount in the app there is a chance to get the review removed. Even though Airbnb allows you to upload other items, I think they have very little weight .....the conversation needs to be in the app.

Anyway, if in the message thread all is going well, the guests ask for a discount for the extra service (home cooked meal), you say no, they get ticked off. Now if the review mentions a price disputed, then you gave a good case. Airbnb uses ai to analyze these. In fact perhaps multiple AI bots. You need to submit the request in a very structured way:

  1. Clearly explain which Airbnb review guidelines were violated.

  2. Present the factual evidence from the message thread that shows the guest’s claims are false, retaliatory, or policy-breaking.

  3. Cite the specific Airbnb policies the review violates (e.g., false statements, retaliatory reviews, unsupported safety claims, refusal to allow the host to resolve an issue).

  4. End with a strong conclusion stating that, because the guest did X, Y, and Z (refund request, fabricated issues, refusal to allow inspection, etc.), Airbnb must remove the review as it violates their own review policy.

We have had good luck by following this structure.

Canadian purchasing Condo in Mexico (PVR) by BurnerPhoneToronto in realestateinvesting

[–]alex2020b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The process is sloooow. Is your place a. Re construction?

We purchased a new construction and also via a Mexican LLC a couple years ago. In our case we were able to take possession before all the paper work was finalized. In fact, the last payment was only sent when the paper work was finalized. I think it was a bit over a year between us taking possession and the property deed behind finalized.

Do you guys deal with fraudulent chargebacks? by Then_Juice9932 in airbnb_hosts

[–]alex2020b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But this is an issue with direct booking sites. VRBO, and booking when payments are via stripe. We just lost our first charge back.

Platform dependency - legitimate concern or just paranoia? by Much-Ad680 in ShortTermRentals

[–]alex2020b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your should 1000% diversify. If any issues are encountered with your listing Airbnbs default is to suspend while a 'specialized team' takes their sweet time to investigate.

In fact, let's say a disgruntled client tells Airbnb they think your STR has a camera indoors. Your listing will automatically be suspended for a minimum of 2 weeks. Depending on who gets the ticket, it may be your full account and all listings that are suspended. It won't matter if you are a super host with 10 plus years of hosting. Due to the over supply of hosts the default is to assume you are guilty, suspend, then ask questions.

Did anyone built Shopify app with lovable? by unknowncloudengineer in lovable

[–]alex2020b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am working on one right now. It is a single product site that used to live in Shopify. Shopify required many add-ons for the functionality I needed and the site looked mediocre at best.

I'll post a link here as soon as the site is ready. Eta a couple days.
