His parents arrived and had the key, so they're in there cleaning the place out.

If you are looking to improve security with cameras (and I wouldn't just rely on the Ring for this) then just be sure you are not pointing any cameras in the home, do not record ANY audio and I used to actually note in my check in instructions that there were cameras for the guest and homes safety so they were not surprised when the arrived.  

Even today I operate in what I call a hybrid mode, renting long-term to retired winter visitors and then using a 3-day minimum for other seasons.As you can imagine, the STR industry, as part of the hospitality industry, has been on a roller coaster since the pandemic arrived.

So either the cleaners clean right before check-in and someone gets the trash out of the house on checkout day, or the cleaners clean on checkout day and if there is a gap in when the next guests arrives someone has to come check the property before the guests show up.

Dividing your forecasted net operating income by your conclude cap rate you will arrive at your “As Stabilized” market value.

I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice, but I have added a cancellation clause "cancelations within 24 hours of arrival will result in no refund, cancelations 1-3 days before check in for a 50% refund" as well as a fee associated with undisclosed pets, that is around twice the fee for disclosed pets that you charge. 

When I filed my taxes I didn't put the supplementals into my deductibles >< lol because they haven't arrived yet.

(the first 4 are still busy with their flip and can only buy again from you after their flip is done, sold and got the cash back)OK so thus far you need 8 serious buyers on your list.For the next month (the 3th month) you want to wholesale 4 more houses again.Chances are that one flip for a serious buyer would last 3 months... meaning the 4th month they are busy selling the flip and waiting till it sells and wait for the paycheck to arrive.

Locking up a job at the moment doesn't seem feasible as I'd be looking at a career change and have uncertainty of when I'd be arriving to Tennessee.

How about going there before they arrive, walk through the house myself, fill out an inspection form, and leave the sheet in the house for them to review and sign?
