Thanks for adding the info about TripAdvisor and Booking.com.I personally live in a popular tourist location, and have considered only renting my own house out for the max allowed days before taxes are required (14).This is perfect for when we go on vacation.But you are right, it is a lot of work to clean and then over your house.

I would look and talk as professional as you can. 

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

Liability risk management for me involves an "onion layered" approach.Layer 1: Know the law, follow the law.Layer 2: Respond promptly and professionally to legitimate repair requests.Layer 3: Properties held in Limited Liability CompanyLayer 4: Carry adequate liability insurance. 

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

I actually decided based on response time, professionalism, and client testimonials. 

As a 29-year old professional working in Brooklyn, NY, the commute as well as other things has got me thinking about moving to Brooklyn.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

But me is not a busy professional with no time.Most heartbreak in this business I have read about, the common denominator, is loss of control. 

Has anyone used a specific software to create professional looking procedure manuals?
