I use it, though I hate it, but I avoid problems by setting criteria such as how much in advance a party has to book, minimum number of nights, requiring either a large deposit or purchase of insurance, house rules & photo id requirements prior to arrival, withholding check-in information until just before arrival and sending it to a verified cell phone number.

But it’s easy to find a lot of people with fancy cell phones, all sorts of “necessities” like newer cars, expensive cable plans, eating out/partaking in services, etc.I think the US “normal” spending habits help the economic numbers look good, but also think if every American, myself included, kept a little more in savings, the economy would still be pretty good.

@Andy Nathan I’m up 15% on my REIT portfolio, bet heavily on retail, cell towers and data centers.

Cell tower and data center REIT’s are going to be the top preforming sectors and if your a value investor I’d be looking at companies in the retail and hotel sectors like Store Capital or Simon Property Group.

Each risk is unique and each investor is different, so it's best to see what the real estate investor is trying to accomplish in the future.I'll DM you my cell feel free to call when you have time.

The # listed is my cell so feel free to reach out.

@Elijah Brown congrats, love your story man - I also closed on my first deal while out in the field for IBOLC at Fort Benning last summer - can definitely relate to the excitement of sneaking a cell phone check to find out you are now officially a real estate investor!
