Guests cover the cleaning cost.

Years go by and eventually Grandpa gets tired of fixing porches, nailing gutters and steam cleaning carpets that 'have a couple more years in them. 

I had several tenants complain that they are impossible to keep clean.

Initially, our plan was to fix the drywall leaks, clean out the property, and relist it for a small profit.

Good afternoon, I currently live in the UK in a property owned here with my partner, I have two properties in WA- One is a long term rental property with no mortgage that I inherited in 2020 and the other is currently used as an AirBnb with a mortgage that I am still paying and have been for the past 4 years.I am looking to sell the house that has no mortgage however we have to wait untill June for the tenants to move out and it is unlikely that it will sell before then as it needs some work done to clean it up for listing.What are my options currently?

Starting with your wife and possibly your kids depending on age (for example, they can help clean between tenants, this starts  their education [Check with your accountant because you may be able to pay your kids and take a deduction].- - While you will do the lion share, can you take advantage of your wife's talents and availability?

A few public projects have cleaned this up but the area has never prospered since.

So I just went with a clean design, laundry in the unit, HVAC, and new appliances sealed the deal IMO

Thank you for your input.Keep a cheat sheet for your property(ies) with color brand/codes for each room and common info needed such as appliance info, fridge opening HxW, etc...Paint should be standard sets of colors for all the properties you have.Flat means hard to clean, repaint it all.
