But they must be an actual buyer.Otherwise, it's smoke and mirrors.

You don’t want a tenant that didn’t sign a “No Horses or smoking inside the property.”

If you don’t have fire escapes, sprinkler systems and hardwired smoke detectors, they likely aren’t going to approve it.

Hey Robert, Long time lender and investor based in Tampa here. 10-15 years ago we did several buys through "realforeclose", the county auctions in FL, but we found that we were spending a ton of due diligence time only to get smoked at auction from silly, inexperienced new investors that were overpaying for properties.

The few that were more than 10% above market average once corrected began to perform a lot better.Likely you will find no smoking gun to support your conclusion, and it is unfortunate Airbnb makes changes in the shadows and has a constantly evolving business plan (and algorithm). 

Good time to check to make sure all smoke detectors are good and still within 10 years of age. 

Unfortunately, I only worked with a realtor, and I should have moved to another one when she was missing basic tasks like checking on the property while listed, making sure the cleaners actually cleaned, put the smoke detectors back up before the VA inspection (removed by cleaners), etc.

(Larger birds are, of course, much worse.)I would schedule frequent inspections for things like furnace filters, smoke alarms, etc, to make sure that the damage is not getting out of control. 

And who ever told you it does not effect your personal credit was just blowing smoke or just does not understand (it is said every day on this site).

I just picked up a smoking hot deal in Denton, TX.
