Today’s show features an interview with former Marine and current RE agent/investor Sean McDonnell.

On today’s show, guest Jonathan Clark shares every STR host's worst night-Airbnb shut down his entire account with no warning-based on an issue with “reviews”.

In addition to his account being shut down, Airbnb told Jonathan all his future bookings were being cancelled, against his will, all coming into high season! Jonathan shares what his experience was like, how the Airbnb support was zero help, and how he believes they intended to chase him off until he gave up. By a stroke of luck Jonathan was able to get his account back, and he shares how he did so, and what he learned about Airbnb in the process.
