It was difficult to find reliable cleaners and handymen at first but I have been operating for 2 years now and have found people I like.

It seems that people are paying very little attention to it.

I see why they say, never go into business with family.

But yes, now that we are here, maybe let him know that if things do not get up to date or cleaned up you will go to his superiors.When people are late right at the beginning, I let them know that the behavior is not acceptable and let them know there are consequences to that bad behavior. 

It will be remote, but since you live there now, you probably already have connections who either already know the house or local friends to find you good people to service things as needed.  

I am looking forward to connecting with people in the area and sharing wisdom along the way!

I understand different people have different risk profiles.

Fewer people can afford to buy when prices are high, increasing demand for rentals and driving up rents.

For a vacation rental, I could see people thinking they look dirty / streaky. 

Quote from @Vince Scipione: Yes, they are a popular choice where I live and work, however with the ever fluctuating cost of oil heat, many people have swapped over their boilers/furnaces to what is called a "Propane Gun" essentially it is a device that is affixed to the front of the furnace/boiler that injects the propane and ignites it.
