The property was being lived in....of course it could use a refresh which we also agreed to do a deep clean for you....fact of the matter is is that you chose to walk away from our agreement prematurely and ended up having to go about it on your own.

Since Covid this is just the way of the world with STR/MTRs, it can require more cleaning and cause damage but if you want to complete it is a necessity. 

Failure to clean up pet droppings willresult in a service call (Pooper Scooper) billed to the tenant.

It is entirely possible to self-manage with a strong cleaning team.

Cash flow can be great if you manage it well and keep occupancy rates high, but factor in the added costs of management, cleaning, and potential vacancy dips.

Huge counterparty risk, I am just working through a scenario where a correspondent HML in the midwest got defrauded from bad diligence and their funding partner is having to clean things up.

STRs also avoid automatic classification as passive if rented for seven days or fewer per tenant.To maximize tax benefits, maintain detailed logs of all hours worked on activities like tenant communication, cleaning, maintenance, and marketing.

I updated the electrical, painted everything, and “cleaned the property up nicely” exterior and interior.

We had to pay a biohazard company over $9k for a thorough clean up.

The timeline is years for clean up and decades for reconstruction and recovery.
