In an attempt to clean up the industry, legislation was written by those who 1) had never been lenders themselves and had no understanding of the industry and 2) their biggest campaign contributors were big banks (look up Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and Elizabeth Warren's campaign contributors at the time and you'll see big banks).

What about if I self manage and drive over to the property and spend 4 hours a week cleaning it out for 3 months prior to the renovation and it being rented out?

We need a responsible person/family that can take very good care of our property as we are not after the money, but want it to be clean and for you to take it as if it's yours.

Hi, For move-in costs, do you recommend to add cleaning fee as refundable fee or none refundable fee?

So I would think that any good cleaning company could come and do a deep clean after a 3 month stay just like you would with a LTR tenant flip.There should be a ton of cleaners in that area.

I have cleaning services and handymen/contractors and live near the property. 

@Ezra Nugroho all 3 were clean and paint. 2 had new gas furnaces from last owner, 1 had central air. all 3 had off street parking. 

Depending on the type of glue they used you might even have to get a grinder and get the floor clean again.

Me knowing I am going to clean up while watching all the low level Realtors lose their minds over these NAR lawsuits. 

I recently pulled and cleaned a list to direct mail that I really liked..
