Only feedback the agent has given us is that we needed to clean the backyard, which was a whole project and that was at the beginning of us hiring her 3 months ago.

We just met with two pro cleaning companies and had the opportunity to try one out so far.

But with that comes more expenses, more insurance, more turnover, more cleaning services (I live 3 hours away) - so much more to deal with. 

For example, tell them if they are out within 30 days and no bad-mouthing or harassing you, then you will refund 100% of the deposit the second they turn in the keys and you will handle cleaning the unit for them.

@Elvin William we don't recommend investing in Class D in Detroit - too many headaches and there are lots of Class C options.The only investors we know that make Class D work or those that DIY manage and go by their properties several times each week.

Then they periodically (perhaps weekly or bi-weekly) walk around the yard to clean up the poop.

at a bare minimum, new paint and carpet/plank everywhere and changing out all the cabinet hardware, electrical covers, fresh light fixtures, etc. will make things look fresh and clean.

She speak of having to clean the carpet because there was a juice stain on it. 

It makes it difficult to do simple maintenance, repairs, cleaning, etc.If you don't have a ton of reserves, I always think it's a good rule of thumb to have between 4-6 months mortgage in savings as you're trying to figure out a rhythm.
