After a horrendous experience at Airbnb, where a guest wrecked my house and Airbnb would only pay for less than one-tenth of the costs of repair, I am thinking of moving my property listing to Vrbo. I see that they allow you to take deposits from guests of $5,000 (or more) or get the guest to purchase insurance of up to $5,000. How does the system work in practice? Is Vrbo or the insurance company good about paying for the full cost of the repair? How does it compare as a platform to Airbnb?

According to Forbes, having solar panels is supposed to add 4% to the value of your home. However, real estate agents (nj) have said it doesn’t add any value if owned, and it complicates the sale or makes it negative if it’s been funded by a PPA or leased. What have people actually experienced?

What has been your experience with Aircover? Did they really compensate you for the damage caused by a guest?
