In fact I had one done that size over the summer from some real slobs who moved out, and it required an inordinate amount of deep cleaning including almost one full day just on the filth of the kitchen floors, and it was $400. 

It was a huge investment, but it cut the electricity cost by the full 2K per/mo all summer.

We have a big place so it is families and groups.I do ask guests before booking if they are celebrating any special occasions and I will add some extra things to the welcome box that fits if I can.

I have a long rennovation project I bought in the summer that I am currently working on and am looking to get a few turnkeys on top of that.

Combining short term rentals and a venue is a huge advantage because guests would not have to travel far and you could offer better rates as part of a event package.My current venue focuses more on baby showers, content creation and birthday celebrations rentals.

My wife was very clear with me that we aren't going to give up our limited summers with our children to work on the rentals. 

It used to be my job to protect our celebrity clients from so called investment specialists who promised more than the investment was worth and delivered less or nothing at all.

I already have a hand shake deal on the next property, another duplex, that I will buy come summer time.  

The property was purchased in 2021 for 1.1 million, was appraised in the summer of 2024 for 2.2 million, and reports from online appraisal websites say it could currently be around 3 million.

Be sure to celebrate the goals that you achieved!!
