Again if they are handling the cleaner that is their expense not your expense.  

If you do come across a unicorn multi that isn't a complete gut most house hackers run into the issue with the standard of living for their investment property and their own house are drastically different.I would suggest looking out in Delaware county for a multi, much higher inventory 3+ units, and a larger percentage of cleaner multis as well. 

Here is a very simplified example of what I mean:Option 1: Single property Gross 100K net 30k Option 2: Two properties: Gross 100K net 40K Now, of course you you net more on option 2 but now you need to manage double the bills, double the bookings, double maintenance, cleaners etc...

I have heard and read many posts about how reliable cleaners are essential for STR business.

Hard as they have tried, their own site just doesn’t draw much traffic. 8) According to some field partners (cleaners) they are going to start charging them to access the listing info.Note #7.

The constant booking of tenants, cleaners, and upkeep of amenities and great photography would be my struggle!

I sometimes block days because I am unable to get a cleaner lined up on short notice.

Distance doesn't matter so much to me as long as I can find a management company and/or cleaner and handy man that can be trusted with the property and quick turnovers.From everything I have read so far, AIRDNA is a helpful tool but somewhat pricy to use.

I called this week to set up date for carpet cleaner to do the unit

Can anyone recommend a reliable cleaner in Palm Springs?
