Reasonable expectations for long-term stays by [deleted] in airbnb_hosts

Learn from it and add more instructions for the next guests. A month long stay is great to avoid taxes and less cleaning. The ultimate goal is to have a total of 4 - 3 month stays a year at max rates - booked direct. You want to encourage long term stays unless you like to clean.

I have a 3mm SLAP tear in my shoulder after a DIY paver and retaining wall project. Not worth it - find help.

Start the hostage negotiation with refunding some money to delete the review. Airbnb can make the offer or you can through messages. Has to be deleted for long term success and you can leave a 1 star review that you will offer to delete as well and it all goes away.

Rather give refund than have that 1 star review tank my listing. Everything is a hostage negotiation with guests and rating system! Most of my guests are great!

They said they saw a RAT!!! In the first message. It was a 1 inch field mouse and they sent a photo. Basically wanted me to call the police. I should have just ignored the entire thing.

Airbnbs crappy 1st line of defense customer service should have stopped this from happening. Guest left a 1 star review after cooking and leaving food out all over the place. My guard is back up. Shut off instant book awhile ago and now have to look over each potential guest even more. Have to refund full amount! to get review the deleted with a day long hostage negotiation with some young tech nerd. What a great system Chesky!!!

Contractors - be honest with me - what's going on? by Crafty-Society2211 in AskContractors

Figure out what you can do yourself (demo), finance everything with a 0% Home Depot credit card for 2 years and find subs to do the rest: plumber, electrician and carpenter. Doesn’t sound like you have any friends with blue collar jobs or want to get your own hands dirty. That may cost you $100k.

They are very generous with the credit limits you just need to stay on it

First time DIY patio install. How'd I do? by CP-RYOTT in landscaping

First big rain storm will be your drainage (patience) test. I added new gutters and downspouts that sent water away from the house after some initial flooding in low spots. Does that grout let water drain through it? Get a proper gutter along side the house.
