Do you provide all appliances like a washer/dryer?

STR income will always be dependent on who I managing the property, how nice the finishes and furnishings are, and the actual location of a property within the given city.With my STR in Destin, numbers are more or less the same as last year, perhaps down just a hair. 

One of the reasons I asked the question is that it seems strange to me that a property management wouldn’t take anything upfront if they inherited a house that wasn’t ready for rent .Our property management also does the cleaning ( deep clean over 4 days was $1000 but they had to deal with some nasty pet hair , fleas etc)and that included some cover up paint etc .One lesson learned here is every contract with owner : property management varied greatly it seems from what is needed .But moving forward - I feel that $500 a month on a $2100 a month property is too high once it’s rented - unless endless problems persist of course ..thanks for your insight!

Assuming adding a vent isn't unduly difficult, i.e. the dryer being in an interior room far from an exterior wall and/or no good access to run dryer pipe, I would put it in on my own.

In-unit washer/dryer is always a plus people are willing to pay more for, but even it's just on site and not necessarily in their unit it will perform better than a space with no access to laundry. 

Were you really stoned when you came up with this hair brained scheme?

And this is just a hair UNDER 17%.

My wife drives across town to get her hair done. 

This is sending up some prickly hairs on my back.

Also, if I bought a fridge, washer, and dryer, how do I expense these appliances?
