This is a growing trend in rentals to increase cash flow and help your community with affordable housing! 

If you offer high quality affordable housing, you'll always find and magically attract good tenants. 

--reach out and thank them upon getting the booking and ask if they have any questions--send a "Welcome" email or automated message during the week prior to arrival--reach out the day after arrival to ask how everything was the first night and ask if there is anything that the property needs--reach out at the end of the stay (that morning or within 24 hours) and ask how everything was, anything to improve, anything to add to the house and then offer an incentive for returning guests.My 2 cents,Mike Absolutely stay in your place as Mike said.You will see things the cleaners will never let you know about.We stayed in our PF will putting up the Christmas decorations and found a cracked plastic shelf in the fridge. 

Hi Jeff, as everyone has mentioned, I would suggest house-hacking a 2-4 unit if you have the means.

House comps recent solds $555,000 up the road for 1400 sf house.

Has anyone ever made a "Homeowner's Manual" to give to the tenants with key information/explanations on things about the house?

Quote from @Collin Luckett: I have a couple houses I’d like to put under contract as fix and flips and would like to you private money lenders to help fund.

However, it's fair to question the integrity of the management since it's in-house.

My wife's siblings have built 2 house on this land as there own houses they are living in The property is a total of 15 acre and each siblings got a portion of the property.

You may also find a house hack works for this if you're living there.
