With some cleaning up and small renovation you can get up to $2000 per unit.

. - Finding a Good Team: Since there is a language barrier in place it was much harder to communicate with any cleaning companies/property managers we found. 

Vacationers are starting to go back to hotels as Airbnb fees have increased and they don't want to deal with cleaning dishes on top of paying cleaning fees.We stayed in a nice vacation rental on the Oregon Coast and there was evidence that kids or homeless were hanging about when it was vacant.  

I guess I am late to the party.. anyone else work with Chris on a "positive solution" yet? 

She realizes after we paid her and contractors she hired over $5,000 to get it painted , cleaned etc that we are out of money and she agreed to not charge us anymore but is still somewhat helping us and showing to potential renters .We have discussed different terms as I told her from her on out we can’t afford the monthly rate anymore .  

Basically I think what you are asking here would be easily provided by a better software solution chose by the PM, and I would question now other business decisions made by the PM.If you are looking for more than just what you indicated here I would eitherr direct you to self manage or hire a limited service PM. 

Currently the manufacturers "solution" is to "not allow the temperature inside the house to vary".

I will say we generally have no trouble keeping ours full and we focus on having nice, clean, safe spaces.

Sure when it is clean a dark color looks much better however it also shows dust and dog hair a lot more.

Exterior maintenance such as pressure wash and gutter cleaning, these times we take care of them and usually at turnover.
