Talk to other clients, go look at his current job site and see how clean it is, the quality of work, if the order of operations is making sense so far, etc.PS I'm a GC in the Nashville area and can take on a handful of clients in 2025 if you need me.

Best way to find end buyers is to ensure it's well marketed - Professional photos, professional clean prior to listing, aggressive list pricing.

Its like the Airbnb that says $20 a night but when you click its $100 cleaning fee. 

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.

Spending on expensive upgrades is not the answer to improve your tenant base in this type of area.Keep the homes habitable, clean, and safe. 

Just be the absolute best host you can be for the first year -- communicate clearly and quickly, make sure cleaning is top-notch, make sure all amenities work (hot tub is hot, TV remotes have batteries, etc. etc.)

Or do they just want to sign an agreement to move out in 30 days and you'll give them their full deposit in cash on move-out day, if they leave the place clean?

We have also found looking at actuals and Airdna numbers of the same property, that they're pretty well right on once we take cleaning fees out.    

I've been called to the carpet now on a DOS clause and its not as scary as people make it out to be.  

Leases are signed electronically (esign.com), and I set them up with RentRedi for deposit, cleaning fee, and rent payments.
