Chad Hurin Anyone else have issues with the VRBO $500 host signup promotion?
9 March 2026 | 2 replies
The location requirement was not listed in the terms we captured at signup.She continued pushing the issue and eventually received the $500 through Venmo.I’m curious if other hosts had a similar experience.If you signed up under this promotion and were denied, you may want to:• Review your original signup emails or screenshots• Ask VRBO to review the original promotion terms• Escalate the case if necessaryIf multiple hosts experienced this, it may indicate a larger issue with how the promotion was handled.

Derek Brickley Labor Market Shows Signs of Slowing

The average duration of unemployment has reached 25.7 weeks — the highest level in four years.Why this matters: A cooling labor market can slow economic growth and may eventually create pressure for lower interest rates.Private Hiring Looks Better — But Still UnevenSeparate data from ADP showed 63,000 private-sector jobs added in February, beating expectations.But the gains were concentrated in smaller companies.Small businesses added jobsMid-sized companies cut jobsLarge employers added only modestlyAnother signal: the pay increase workers get when switching jobs has narrowed to the smallest gap on record.Why this matters: Employers appear to be hiring more cautiously, another sign that the labor market is losing steam.Other Indicators Point to Cooling HiringSeveral additional labor market signals reinforce the same trend.Layoff announcements have surged early this year, with January and February layoffs among the highest for those months since 2009.At the same time, hiring plans have dropped sharply.

It is very unusual for rents to hold steady throughout the holiday months, traditionally the slowest time for the rental market.Rentals - Availability by MonthThe number of homes for rent decreased MoM, which is expected for this time of the year.Rentals - Median Time to RentMedian days to rent increased MoM, conforming to the seasonal trend.Rentals - Months of SupplyRental inventory decreased significantly MoM, now at 1.4 months, indicating a landlord’s market.Sales - Months of SupplySales inventory has ticked up MoM to just below 2.4 months, still a seller’s market.Sales - Median $/SF by MonthPrices decreased MoM, perhaps finally catching up to the holiday “slump” that did not occur during the holiday months.Why invest in Las Vegas?

Estervelle Bennett Interesting Squatter Patterns Showing Up in Atlanta Property Data
13 March 2026 | 2 replies
I’m a property data engineer in Atlanta and I spend a lot of time digging through municipal records and complaint activity.One thing that surprised me recently was how often squatter-related signals are showing up in city records tied to specific properties.When you start combining complaint activity, vacancy indicators, and certain types of incident patterns, you can sometimes see signals that suggest unauthorized occupancy before anything shows up in foreclosure or auction data.I pulled together a short report while analyzing the patterns and noticed that several hundred properties across the city are showing some type of squatter-related signal.Curious if anyone investing in Atlanta has run into this more often recently.
Chris M. Who can be your LLC registered agent in FL?
8 March 2026 | 1 reply
When filling out the LLC application it doesn't allow an out of state address for the registered agent, indicating I can't be the agent as I live out of state, but I read elsewhere the agent can be either a resident of Florida, or somebody authorized to conduct business in Florida.
