@Robert Spiegel Great question, and it’s always a balancing act when dealing with long-term tenants who’ve been fantastic overall.Based on my experience managing over 1,200 rental homes in North Texas, including areas like Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, and Frisco, here’s how I would approach this:Cleaning Charge: While $540 may feel steep, it can vary depending on the size of the property and local market rates.

It almost feels like they make it difficult on purpose so they get extra revenue on late fees.

Feel free to contact me if you want to discuss further. 

However, if you feel you need their input earlier, you could offer to pay for their visit to walk the property with you pre-inspection.

I feel ya, but it's a normal and customary practice. 

Additionally, my husband lived there for six years, and the city feels like a second home to me.

Feel free to reach out if you'd like an introduction!

they'd rather keep it / do nothing with it than sell for less than what they feel entitled to.OK, i'll stop there. 

I have built enough capital to feel comfortable investing heavily and am interested in either a flip, small multi family, or commercial.
