Time would be the biggest variable.Assuming the same repeatable services will have to be provided for STR & MTR, that are not provided for LTR, the costs may not be that different.Taking care of lawns, monitoring & paying utilities, taking calls, etc.Some services will be the same, but vary in frequency: cleanings, resupplying amenities, responding to inquiries, bookings, granting access, etc.

The unit was vacant for a month or so prior to their move-in and had been professionally cleaned.

For rental to be in same condition when rented by tenants, I will need to: touch-up paint, clean house, wash windows, clean carpet.

Kansas has pretty easy brokerage licensing, other states require license, bonds, insurance, net worth and a clean record.....it varies. 

They will email the cleaning agency of my choosing each time there is a booking ot change. 

@Star Campbell I've referred my last couple clients to Maven Cleaning and have received good feedback so far. 

No cleanings for you to deal with. 

It's never a clean 20-25%...it's that plus death by a thousand cuts. 

If that isn't the goal I'd hold and hire a pm or get strong on collection and cleaning up the tenants that are taking advantage of you.

It allowed us to create a great system at the start so when we add properties to our personal or management portfolio all the rental stuff goes through MOXIE's systems and is a clean turnover.
