I'm hoping to branch out into additional investment properties but the $1k/month that I'm seemingly throwing away makes this difficult.I thank you all in advance for your thoughts and feedback.

Thanks in advance.

Report each issue on a separate ticket (grass, trash, health hazards, etc).

Hello Saulo, I have two STRs and the main things my cleaners do - Reliability - they live close to where I operate so that's always a plus Availability - I do constantly update the calendar so they know well in advance of turnoversPictures - they always send pictures after they're done in the event we have a discrepancy with a guest (it will happen)Additionals - if I ran out of something, they will get it an add it to the invoice. 

:) Thanks in advance!!

Thank you in advance for your insights!

We also try to note everything wrong that is readily visible and then categorize each issue as:1) Health & Safety2) Property Preservation3) Marketing Negative Impact4) MiscellaneousThis can help owners make better decisions on which repairs to prioritize, especially if they have a limited budget.

Thank you all in advance!

You should not put more than 20% of your money in any one deal - in case that deal goes badI was reading some posts elsewhere yesterday where people were taking out $50k advances on credit cards at 0% to invest in a syndication which went under.

I don't have excel and it seems to be the only option that I can see.Thanks in advance!
