We did, and it paid for itself within 2-3 sessions :)Dishwasher Soap & Vinegar normally gets the job done :)

When you have a tenant moving in the middle of the month are you prorating the first month and then collecting the next rents on the 1st, or are you collecting a full month and changing the lease contract to make the monthly due date on the anniversary day of the beginning of the lease?

Some people keep a locked cabinet in their STR which is full of the normal consumable supplies (bath soap, dish soap, laundry soap, paper towels, azz wipe, light bulbs). 

You can order a custom window to fit any opening.A clear plastic shower curtain does a great job of keeping the water off the window and letting the light in too.Be sure to make the window ledge at a steep enough angle to prevent anyone from using it as a shelf for soap or shampoo bottles and it will drain water really good if and when someone forgets to pull the curtain over the window.

There is NOTHING for a tenant to put shampoo on or soap.

If you can do that, you will see that your nest egg for a down payment will grow quickly.I will get off of my soap box now.  

I will be going to Colorado the 16th through the 20th for my wedding anniversary, so I will not be able to attend this meeting.

Thought I would share a cool story (at least to me :) since its the two year anniversary of closing on my first true flip.

The rod that works the pop-up stopper tends to catch any hair or fiber and combined with soap residue makes clogs. 

You just have to have lived in the property for two out of the last five years, so if that is the case you are better off living there until the two-year anniversary and then complete the transaction.
