With that said good pms can make you more money than you pay them by keeping rents at market rates, quicker turn around times, and forcing tenants to be responsible for more of the damage and maintenance.

Pretty anxious about this job I’m taking on so anything to calm the nerves is appreciated!

They can send you photos of any damage so you can submit claims.

Professional cleaners (Molly Maid Company) says it can't be cleaned.Has anyone had experience with damage that can't be fixed, but maybe doesn't warrant a brand new appliance?

Cons might include increased inspections and regulations, potential for property damage, and the possibility of dealing with tenants who have more complex needs.

Additionally, you must notify your insurance company to adjust your policy to cover short-term rentals, ensuring you have appropriate coverage for liability and property damage specific to Airbnb operations.

I plan to give my tenants a proper notice to inspect the apartments for any damages negligence.

If they deliberately do something to damage the AC, then yes I would expect them to pay for it. 

The damage to the sheet rock in the basement wasn't bad, and I set up a bunch of fans and ventilation in order to prevent mold from growing.I went to check on the first floor apartment to see if there was any damage and luckily there wasn't.

I doubt I'll ever get my back rent and damages back either, but I figure if they ever get their lives back on track or they win the lottery :-) I'll be in line to collect.
