I don't think most tenants would do a good job of keeping the door clean.

It forces people to stay organized.Chores - we had a cleaning schedule where we would rotate each week what had to be done.

If you're not overpricing yourself relative to the competition, and the unit is nice (clean, in good shape, etc.), then the only thing left it could be is your marketing.

There are more moving parts between cleanings, reviews, keeping inventory of a furnished place, bookings, new people every few days, people not understanding the difference between an airbnb and hotel etc.

You may not be able to back out of contract to save your escrow deposit and I’m no lawyer, but if you’re doing inspection and it’s totally jacked up and it can potentially clean out your account and portfolio.

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?
