Mold requires moisture and a food source (dust is sufficient).

No cleaning crew is perfect, and there will be guests that move dressers to find a spec of dust and complain, thats part of the customer service business we're in.

Most of the time we (my husband and I) have no problem painting, mopping, scrubbing and dusting a bit between tenant transitions. 

A good way to classify A - B - C - D properties are by the shirts your tenants are wearing.A Properties = White collar professionals wanting nicer amenities to entertain friends.B Properties = Blue collar working class, bread and butter cash flow tenants that respect the property.C Properties = T-Shirts week-to-week paycheck residents, usually a mix of Section 8 and working classD Properties = NO SHIRTS gathered on the front steps drinking 40's out of a paper bag at high noon.

I'm working on a live and flip right now and besides living in dust and having to take it slow due to cash constraints haven't had any major challenges yet!

Anything under $5M is rookie, not $500k.Track record - only 10 STR's in the past (and I don't even know how long those have been owned or how they have performed) is not enough in my book to warrant such high promised returns in a totally mixed bag syndication.

No dust was found so it appears like this might be from past and not current.

All investment in it will be lost and the government will drop it like a bag of dirt. 

But it does drive me nuts when I am standing in front of one of new builds and the boys are having lunch and then just drop their drink and the bag and wrappers on the ground where they are standing and walk away.. then I come up and pick it up and tell them what the F guys some dont speak english.. but they get the drift when I am staring at them Of course many dont realize also I am the owner LOL..

One of my vacant rentals tested positive for lead dust.
