Typical Turn Cleaning Costs

[Luke Robinson]

How much time is typically needed to do a turn clean on a 1 bed / 1 bath? 

I'm getting charged for appx 15-20hrs for cleaning alone (no paint/repairs).  I'm new to out of state investing and really like my PM. But that seems like a lot of time, and I'm trying to gauge what's normal.

For a one or two bedroom apartment (700-800 sq feet); 4 hours would be the total man hours and another hour to shampoo carpets. We use a service for that. We also have 3 bed 3 bath duplexes they take a lot longer; but not more than one day. For some of that time there may be more than one person on site. We ask the tenant to leave the place 'broom clean' when they leave and we conduct a move out video with them if possible. We make sure the place is spotless for the next tenant. People hate other people's dirt!
