Boston Housing Authority - Boston Housing Authority (click on "For Landlords" tab)If you're serious about being a DIY landlord, you're going to have to invest MORE time into research than just posting here for help.Go spend 30 minutes on their website and then ask more specific questions for clarification.

They are cleaning/maintenance specific tools.

I mainly did clean up and prep for the contractors to save a little time and money, as well as some painting and sealing.

People want it to be, it's very cool and hip, but really the masses just want nice clean, functional and affordable housing.

Id think the toughest aspect is making sure folks mesh well and either a cleaner is paid or there are set instructions for cleaning on common areas. 

It sounds like it would be easier (time being the best asset) to just sell and pay taxes up front if my goal is to get a clean break from Cali?

Can I use the tenant's security deposit to clean up/restore the yard?

Like if a property has a long string of 3 or 4 star reviews mention bad cleaning, do you make any adjustments to assume that they house would make more if it had a better cleaning crew?
