clean up What was the outcome?

Warm-up: FAQs that are often answered wrongQ1: I pay less than $600 for my AirBnB cleaning.

Leases are signed electronically (esign.com), and I set them up with RentRedi for deposit, cleaning fee, and rent payments.

When they move out, I can access their account to charge for cleaning and repairs.

I take a percent off of total top line (including cleaning fees) that is 5-10% less than what a local "hands on" operator would charge.

I've allowed pets in my STR for five years and haven't had any problems except some extra cleaning a couple times, which was paid for by the guest. 

MTR brought in 75% of the gross and more of the net due to lower cleaning fees for turning over the STR.For gross numbers we brought in about 1.2% of the ARV value in monthly rent this year which is decent based on the rules of thumb at least. 

If you do outsource, some management companies will cover various things like cleaning, supplies, etc. so look into that as well. 

Stick to a budget, align with local trends, and consider DIY projects to maximize your ROI.Good luck!
