It seems like they have a newer and better "jerk the host around" policy every couple of days.You get what you tolerate.VRBO is no better, and will almost certainly copy this in the coming months.VRBO and Airbnb take turns coming up with jerk the host around policies, and then the other one copies it.Remember, VRBO are the ones that invented charging fines to hosts beyond even the max refund amount, which is pretty much the most brutality punitive policy in all of business and something no other business would accept.Imagine if waiters had to pay a $2000 fine for spilling a drink on a diner. 

Hello @Vida Lolitaa - I'm not a flipper, but I do buy distressed properties, mostly in the Raleigh / Durham area of North Carolina - and rehab them into rentals that I hold (#BRRRR).

Good markets are subjective and depend on a lot of things like the specific location of the property.You can Google this and find many articles that say why certain areas are good.I just saw SC is a top area with Charleston, Myrtle Beach and Greenville leading the way.

I really appreciate the connection.

Any up and coming cities in Georgia where job growth, population growth, and increasing steady rental demand seem to be present?

Any tips on connecting with potential JV partners?

Tips for flips?
