Keeping a long term tenant might be worth it to me versus cleaning up after a 10 year stay, even if the rent is below market. 

So I’m basically just charging for the cleaning.

We went with 2 of the wash towers in our STR and we are our cleaner's favorite house to care for - the love that they can get all the linens clean so quickly! 

I had to abandon a vacation and come here to oversee this and clean up her mess. 

Louis, MO.I have a question that I was hoping the BP community could help with: I was wondering if anybody could point me in the direction of a nice, clean, and easy to use accounting spreadsheet template (or something of that nature) for real estate investing book-keeping?

It takes 3-5 days where I am for a commitment to come back, assuming it is clean, I do the following three things:Take the original contract, cut a tiny strip of paper and scotch tape it over the price and make a copy.

Refund the cleaning fee. 

Keep in mind that the home will likely need thorough cleaning and repairs may be extensive.Ask about short salesIf a homeowner needs or wants to sell a home that isn’t worth what they owe on it, the lender may consider a short sale.

We've had 2 units rented long-term at our MTR rate which seems like a homerun to us because we have no vacancy, cleanings, turns, etc.
