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

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. 

Was a drug addict but allegedly clean for 5 years.

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.

Keep in mind the foundation is not the only issue, when there is foundation issues there is usually other internal issues that go along with it, (wall separation, Possible broken pipes, floors etc) so give yourself plenty of wiggle room for repairs.

If the background check and credit check come back clean, then I approve the tenant and walk them through setting up online payments.

I would be focusing on cleaning up bookkeeping, communication portal with client, vendor list management, payment processing, etc.
