    Let's try this again.

    Our journey into investing in short-term rentals dates back to the spring of 2017, when my family and I visited Disney World, Florida, for the first time. Let's just say, I won Father of the Year in 2017. It all started when my kids visited the Magic Kingdom and told me, "Daddy...

    1. Always default to the method that preceded it so as to keep communication methods in sync or

    2.  Always default to VRBO messaging vice SMS regardless how the previous message came across (this would keep all communication on the platform which is a best practice in my experience)

    Where can I find out which jurisdictions they collect taxes in? by Carissa S (/forums/users/347427389) – Sep 2, 2023 6:55 PM (UTC)
