BP should definitely create a therapy group because I equally fall into that trap with some of our Chicago renovations...I went to a property to do a quick walkthrough check and then somehow I end up with a broom in my hand cleaning because messy job sites are my pet peeve.  

Clean, paint and make the really necessary repairs that would offend a first-time home buyer.Let me give it to you straight.

Many landlords love having an arbitrager using their property for the following reasons....So the home rents well, it's kept in perfect condition all the time.Professionally cleaned at least 4 times a month.So long as the property is over $150 a night, it's a proven fact that STR guests are much easier on the property the LTR tenants. 

I was able to get all but one bath towel clean as a whistle.

The time of the clean cut, good guy champion has arrived 

I find that automatically sending a message to your new guests is very useful, you get to start a conversation right away and it increases the guest's experience.I also automate all my cleaning jobs with Turno that I find invaluable.

Taking your screening method above- as an investor, it would make sense that you are choosing the applicant with the best balance of income, credit, references and a clean background. 

So I have a lot of the line here.. almost 10 million closing in the next 8 weeks  :)  yet there I am cleaning up ..

Some people (us included) keep our contractors close to the chest so it's easier to find banks and vendors (like carpet installation).

I like how it is an all in one software with cleaning notifications, calendar management, syncs to pricing software (wheelhouse or pricelabs) and also can do direct bookings.
