My husband is also very allergic to cats and will cost us a lot of money to deep clean the apartment once he moves out which is what we explained.

We have a pre inspection done, then list with a clean report as any minor item as been fixed.

-Power Wash Your Home's Exterior: A thorough power washing can remove dirt, grime, and mildew from your home's siding, making it look fresh and clean.

To me this makes sense because a one bedroom can host 1-2 people easily with a competitive ADR and cleaning fee, while 4+ beds can host multiple families and split up a higher ADR between more adults. 2 bedrooms can be price competitive with 1 bedrooms and attract the same guest avatar plus small families or 2 couples. 

We are self managing and cleaning ourselves.  

Should I pull the trigger or just clean up the  unit as is.

I'd have to double the security deposit, raise the rent by 20%, and double the cleaning fee to even make it worth considering-- which I would if people were willing to pay but the market doesn't support those prices.

I trust my realtor, he seems very honest, so I am plaining to visit after furnishing ( we will hire someone to furnish my place) before picture taken and make sure furnishing is well done and be there for picture taken and do last work ( organizing or cleaning...) 

So I am able to provide guest services locally, as well as cleaning and concierge, while the owners still get to be involved but don’t have to do the hard work of driving from all over creation to come meet a plumber, electrician, put a faucet cover on for freezing temps, etc. it works well since we are like a partnership.

Obviously they need to be very clean but they also must be very thorough.
