@Mica MooreI've had $800 cleanings that were worth every penny, and $250 cleanings that were terrible...

Clean up the house and upgrade then sale again after 2 years.  

She told me she would start showing it when it is vacant and clean and ready.

Now in 2021 I got 225 a night with a $150 cleaning fee and was 98% occupied may-aug and never adjusted prices due to not knowing about demand as well as pricing tools.Last summer I didn't see as great of prices just because of how crazy 2021 was but was still full.

I purchased a foreclosure that sat on a suburban lot that was flat, needed repairs, cleaning and most of all the lot was large enough for as many as three homes. 

There is obviously a formal lease, and we also supplement with a room mate agreement which outlines the more specific things like overnight guests and expectations in dispute resolutions/ cleaning/ care for the home and appliances, etc.I haven't received one formal "LL request" email yet, other than a formal 30 day notice in the event of a move out, which is usually after they've come talked to me in person about it to begin with. if there's an issue, it tends to be pretty limited to "hey, we have this shower rod falling off"... which im usually here to deal with (and tbh most of the time they like to fix it up with me), and it doesnt need to turn into a big thing. as for keys, i have the house on a yale smart lock, so 'handing over keys' is just official move out, walkthrough of the room for damages, and then I can delete their access code and access to the smart home systems without having to re-key the house. 

They are happy to have their blocks cleaned up, happy to have their home values increase when we sell, and the property owner who I cold-called initially made some dough. 

The other obvious benefit is clean living and sustainability :) Let me know your thoughts! 

2- If I employ a full-service property manager to handle tasks such as cleaning, maintenance, booking, and guest communication, while I focus on business aspects like property search, renovation, decoration, bookkeeping, and supply procurement, would this still qualify as material participation or could it pose a risk?

The street it’s on is clean and nice, but there are some run-down, overgrown homes & lots nearby, there’s also a new $1 million home that’s the only one of its kind (and been on the market for 18 months).
