When I first started cleaning out my house, there were 3 young women and a child living in the attached house. 

Are you buying in an association that will provide cleaning services?

I just occasionally check the notes and pictures from the clean. 

We have a duplex and will STR the first floor while we live on the second. 

But he has been nice about and kind of tries to clean up afterwards. 

@Tony Sherman, yes.Closing delays on buy side with title issuesMaterial delays, which can compound into contractor delays when you try to keep schedules tightContractor delays because prior jobs are not wrapping on timeContractor delays because you need to fire one and hire a new oneScope of work issues, i.e. no signs of moisture intrusion prior to buying, but all of a sudden you have a wet floor after a good hard rain.Closing issues on sale sideHow do you manage?  

I don't charge any deposit or cleaning fee.

We were planning $600/mo mortgage payment, $100/mo insurance & $100/mo taxes - balloon payment in 5 yrs.We are providing $5k to pay back taxes ($4k), back hoa ($125), pump septic & grease trap clean out ($225), survey ($600)  & our children are paying closing costs ($1500).Deal stalled as owner backed out on seller finance.Suggestions?

The fourth thing they have is engineered hardwood flooring.
