House is cleaned out  and ready for work to be done. 

Thank you for your input.Keep a cheat sheet for your property(ies) with color brand/codes for each room and common info needed such as appliance info, fridge opening HxW, etc...Paint should be standard sets of colors for all the properties you have.Flat means hard to clean, repaint it all.

As long as it cleans my bum I don't really spend a lot of time thinking about it, and I suspect most of your guests won't either.  

Do you have someone that manages it all including bookings and customer service or just specific parts like cleaning only? 

Or are they moving out when the cleaning is complete?

Build a local team for cleaning and repairs to streamline operations.

The timeline is years for clean up and decades for reconstruction and recovery.

@Will ReedGet a second opinion from another company (one that just does cleaning and scoping not repairs as the companies that also do repairs tend to recommend repairs).

Why do you have 24k in cleaning fees as expenses for an STR?

I did a check on a guy 10 years ago came up clean as a whistle on my landlord association screening service.
