My question is, can I pay my husband, who is not on the title,  as a property manager for his time cleaning and repairing a unit I own?     

It's going to hurt to give up all of that review history, but I'd encourage you to self manage with a clean slate. 

Nearly every applicant I had met the requirements and had excellent credit and clean backgrounds. 

The background check was clean, he had a good score and great income.

I personally have purchased rentals here that are clean BRRRRs.

Suppose your STR /property operationally has a hard time handling same-day turns, or your listing has a high BR count/big place and requires more cleaning time/cost.

Include the rent for the 2 weeks along with an itemized list of other costs (eg if you had to clean). 

I win in court and tenant is kicked out in 24-48 hours.In 90% of all situations, the tenant leaves before I have to file in court, I use their deposit to cover unpaid rent and as much cleaning/repairs as possible, and I move on.

If the one document you got showed a deposit of $1700, then that is what she's owed (minus any cleaning costs or damage that occurred after you bought it (ie you know she did it). 

When I first started cleaning out my house, there were 3 young women and a child living in the attached house.
