Fast solutions have slow problems, tie yourself up in getting cute and the reward is you get a property and risk is you lose it all.

Perhaps one level is just to clean up the unit and install new appliances.

The other things to keep in mind utilities, cleaning before/after (fee, does it need to be dictated?)

Vrbo and Airbnb makes it pretty easy to self-manage.Add a great cleaning team and you are 95% of the way there.Its good to locate handymen and the like but those are easy to find on local FB groups or thumbtack.

Or other solutions we should consider?

For example:Tenant ManagementLease Automation & E-SignaturesOnline Rent PaymentsTenant ScreeningMaintenance Request TrackingMarket Vacant PropertiesIncome & Expense Tracking (Do you use QuickBooks and want to continue, or does your current PMS have its own solution?)

Probably another $100-$200 for cleaning unless you plan to do it. 

I deal with a lot of problem tenant solutions in my state. 

Booked every night for a month, doesn't even cover the mortgage, let alone the cleaning fees and maintenance of the pool, etc. and if you have a property manager, you have to be cashflow negative. 

It's been a struggle.I'm definitely not giving up on real estate investing and just need to clean house for a better result.
