Quote from @Kristin Vegas: @Nathan Gesner thanks for taking the time to respond, i do have a question: i own 2 homes and one of them now is vacant, the tenant moved out and march will be 3 months of vacancy. the tenant moved out december 31 and the management handy man finished the respair almost the end of January. nothing major just paint the wall and some carpert cleaning. so far i received 2 applications but it was denied because they didn't feet the criteria, because these applications the management guy which is the owner of his company as well said that there were more applicants but he didn't even bother to send it to me because those applicants had bad criminal records. last week he said there was. more applications and he was going to check it but i haven't had any responses from it. today i called him to ask qbout those applications and he sounded a bit upset and said that he was gonna check it today, same thing he told me last week, i also asked his helper and she said that he was the one encharged of my rental. everytime i call him he sound busy. he seems to be all over the place and sometimes i think that he is just not taking the time with my property. also last week i told him that if he could pls change the description of my property online and to add that i accept section 8 tenants and he said ok but still hasn't happen because i check the description and is still the same as it was, i'm new in this and any tip i will appreciate it 🙏 What is the market like where the rental is? 

The cleaning costs alone were over $9k.

Some prefer a simple fixed return, where you pay them an agreed interest rate over a set period—this keeps things clean and predictable.

Got educated on all the latest softwares, management systems, and automation programs (dynamic pricing, automating cleaning, automating messaging, etc). 3.

I would have hired a junk haul person to do the clean out instead of my contractor.

Check out some AirBnb monthly comps in your neighborhood to see if it is worth the upfront furnishing costs, monthly utilities and other expenses like professional cleaning and landscaping. 

Boring businesses usually do best, for example .. you can clean or service boats.

I can only imagine how frustrating and stressful it must be to receive repeated citations, especially when you’ve entrusted a property management company to address and resolve these issues on your behalf.As a professional property management company, it is our duty to ensure that every aspect of your property is well-maintained — and that includes even seemingly minor but crucial matters like proper trash management.The management company should establish clear and enforceable guidelines for tenants regarding proper trash disposal, emphasizing the importance of keeping the property clean and compliant with local regulations.Any trash left outside should be promptly removed, and arrangements should be made for proper disposal before the issue becomes a recurring problem.

If you offer a in house chef to cook meals, daily cleaning service etc. then that crosses the line.So, where is it at and show us some pics.

I spend a lot of my time cleaning up poor performing properties from companies that call themselves experts.
