I lost sleep thinking I had an infestation, only to realize it was a scam, and yet there’s no real punishment for the guest.

Airbnb does punish those going against their grain with decreased visibility.3.

When clerks don’t follow the law, they create loopholes that allow people to game the system, stay in homes rent-free, and punish those of us who do everything right.Clerks of Court are elected officials.

The way I frame it for clients: today’s market punishes thin margins.

I'm on Airbnb and I THINK they are punishing hosts that do not allow pets.I am going to be allowing them after not allowing them for 8 years.Will see how this change my bookings!

But once again he IS a convicted felon, he just wasn't punished.

But think of it this way, if they want to spend the national average of $7,000 just to prepare to list on the MLS, pay an agent or agents a total of an average of 6% and get an offer that requires a concession average of 2% plus have people trapesing through their house for 60 days to 90 days, and be ready to show on a moment's notice at odd times of the day, then they are gluttons for punishment and I let them squirm in their discomfort of selling on the MLS. 

However, some people are gluttons for punishment and they enjoy the hassles of being landlords and cleaning toilets.If we have 20,000,000 to 30,000,000 illegals "consuming" rental space, there's your problem.There are all kinds of reasons the numbers tell the story, it's just contrarian stories that special interest groups attach to it, to make it seem like solutions are more ADUs, apartment buildings and condensed housing. 

When combined with court systems that don’t support small landlords, it can feel like you’re being punished for trying to provide housing.You’ve clearly gone above and beyond trying to manage the situation, and I admire your resilience.

And how do we grow the supply of quality, attainable housing without punishing the people willing to build and manage it?
