Some people like the cabin feel, some want a party home with a pool and BBQ grill, it all just depends on the vacation location and what your future renters will want.

- Are you a smoker?

Grilling your property manager on their screening process should be a high priority for anyone kicking tires on property management. 

I honestly don't know what size we use but our cleaning team does have one that is pretty effective on tough smells, especially smokers.

Space permitting I could see value in:- Stellar grill- Bike rack and/or tools- cornhole set- a really big and nice TV for the gamiacs that pilgrim to town every weekend during foosball season.

Bought outdoor furniture and grill from Lower, they delivered it assembled.Loaded up from Walmart for kitchen items, big savings on silverware (service for 12 for $50).

House is 3500 SF on 1/2 acre on cul de sac, w/inground pool, expanded deck, outdoor kitchen/roofed grill area, fenced, sprinklers, excellent shape, etc.

I dealt with this in a condo I bought from a smoker.1) Open windows2) Definitely rip up any carpet that may be there3) Put on a mask-  Clean and scrub walls/windows/floors/trim every surface in the house with bleach/water mixture.

Both of them are actually this week.Mine (Tri-Cities Real Estate Investors Group) is at Rush Street Neighborhood Grill in Kingsport Monday at 7The multifamily meetup (East Tennessee Multifamily) is at Sabores in Johnson City Tuesday at 6:30Both groups are on MeetUp and Facebook

Obviously you could go crazy and add all the George Foreman grills you want, but just wondering where to draw the line.Thanks!
