should I pay a professional to do the work or do I attempt DIY?

I am biased but I truly believe in getting help it is not for everyone and many people are just fine DIY and this applies to all kinds of areas of expertise.   

However, I found out I had to clean up that messy house (lots of trash, like a hoarder's house).

Water is a bad thing if not addressed or cleaned up as quick as possible. 

i don’t mind buying my own materials if it would save me some cash. having a hard time deciding who to do my home improvements. good help is hard to come by these day, especially being new. the price increases doesn’t help as well. as much as i want to diy, i don’t want to mess anything up & still have to call for help!

There was recently a water intrusion event caused by a clogged drain outside which caused some hydrostatic pressure in the soil and some water came up through the slab, which the tenants promptly cleaned up and I ran a dehumidifier I rented from home depot for 24 hours.

Just spoke to a property owner we met here on BP.Very nice person who's been DIY managing their double-digit doors after being burned by bad PMCs in the past.Wanted weekly in-depth updates, all rents deposited in their bank account - and then they would pay the PMC their fee, and expected the PMC to use their PM software.Pretty much looking for a go'fer person, NOT a PMC.We wished them good luck.

Is Homeaglow an option for Short term cleaning services?

The fees I charged as a LTR landlord more than made up for additional cleaning expenses.
