Other than sweeping, we haven't really done anything to it since we installed it.

Let's just say that the Tebow fever sweeping the nation has come down dramatically. 45-10.

so you trade one job for another.. one you run yourself the other your working for someone.. its a personal choice. there was an interesting back and forth over on the " rent control is sweeping the nation thread"" with a couple of SF long time landlords.and as one pointed out  his 13 doors are worth 200 plus doors in the mid west his cash flow is as much if not more ( he bought in the 90s is appears)  so he self manages his 13 doors  his renters are all mid level or higher Tech types  who can pay 2500 to 5k per door for rent.

I can't emphasize enough how awful a move that was in terms of landlord relations, but also how rare it was (to my knowledge, no other area has EVER done something as broad and sweeping to lower rents such as that move).

I sweep it every day, and I'll continue to take proper care in the winter.

At the end of the lease she apparently wasn't able to pack up her things herself and whoever gathered her things for her weren't as careful as she was and didn't sweep the debris off the porch.

If the place is substantially clean and only needs a quick re-sweep, and maybe there's one dead bulb or something, I generally skip it because it's not substantial.

I haven't pulled the trigger on that yet, but I'd consider spending thousands on that over the programs that sweep through town today and forget about you tomorrow.I agree with the others that our local group is fantastic, and you'll leave hoping that the month goes by fast to get to the next one :)  Also a good sign that you're loving what you do...and that's pretty fantastic. 

The funny part about M2 is, it went thru the roof when they mastered the use of computers and the electronic sweep.

Setting clear expectations at the beginning of a job helps - if you're hiring a true GC, and you want a "finished" product on xx date, make that clear that you aren't going to be the one sweeping floors and installing doorknobs the night before it goes on MLS.
