Should I hire a House Crew for my Airbnb?

Hey BP Family, 

I am currently looking into Multi Family properties as well as single family homes with finished basements in the DMV area and plan to possibly rent out the extra units/rooms and also use Airbnb. My question is should I hire a Cleaning Crew to clean between Airbnb stays? I work a Full-time and Part Time Job so I get home around 10-11pm on average every night. I could do it myself but would it be more logical to hire a cleaning crew? If so whats a good average price for a cleaning crew for a finished basement or full apartment? Lastly, should the cleaning crew be responsible for the key swap between stays or should I invest in a keyless pad and change the code between stays?

Yes, you should hire a cleaning crew. It sounds like you don't have the time.  A professional crew will probably do a better job and do it faster. Lastly, you can write off the cost on your tax return. 

Good luck,
