My question is, can I pay my husband, who is not on the title,  as a property manager for his time cleaning and repairing a unit I own?     

Nearly every applicant I had met the requirements and had excellent credit and clean backgrounds. 

Or a SFH that has a detached garage or work shed and convert it (running electrical and sewage might be expensive so do your due diligence).

I personally have purchased rentals here that are clean BRRRRs.

-Relocating the electric panel out of a guest room and into the mechanical room. 

The background check was clean, he had a good score and great income.

Marble backsplashes, all new kitchens, bathrooms, HVAC, electrical, refinished hardwood flooring, etc, all with the idea that we would get better tenants, higher rents, lower vacancies, and less maintenance/repair requests. 

Suppose your STR /property operationally has a hard time handling same-day turns, or your listing has a high BR count/big place and requires more cleaning time/cost.

Include the rent for the 2 weeks along with an itemized list of other costs (eg if you had to clean). 

Having 1-2 go-to vendors for the highest frequency problems… plumbing, A/C, septic, electrical, and roofing, I can pretty much make a 2-3 minute phone call and pass the problem to someone who will solve it with little more input required from me.
