Episode 73: Never Link Calendars, Always Upsale, An Airbnb Suicide?
Description
A host discovers a guest dead from an overdose in his Arlington-area unit, complete with a suicide note he initially laughed off before walking into the room. Police told him to take down the listing. Separately, Myka fields a question about setting off alarms to force late checkouts - his advice: adjust your buffer times instead of threatening guests with police dispatch.
The hosts cover Hurst's six-month STR ban buffer (compared to Grapevine's 45 days), strategies for going corporate or underground when cities crack down, why linking calendars to Airbnb is a mistake, and how desperation kills your leverage in any deal - whether you're buying a house or selling a '79 Cutlass.
