Once it was cleaned out you could see how much beauty this home had and we knew exactly how to capitlize on it.

We have 36 STR stays under our belts and in some cases left the properties in better shape than we found them since I'm a clean nut.

@Paul MalandrinosI would create a new clean LLC for this.What if someone sues the LLC where a flip was owned?

My tenant cleaned all the water up but it’s unclear any residual damage in the wall or under the floor etc.

His annual compliance report is clean he says.Owner had his Coam taken away and is the single owner running the show, an hour away from his home base. 

Clean it up, rent it at market rate, and you'll be much happier.

For example, paying $25 every time they don’t clean after their dog’s poop.

For better or worse, either exiting tenant has the place cleaned or the incoming will do it (I never ask the incoming tenant, it just works it way into the conversation). 

There was an old superfund in the 80s to clean up metal contaminants in the soil from the old mining activity, so maybe check into that if.

@Verna MedlinGo to a lawyer as if you are not on the contract but on the deed it is an invalid contract - BUT if you are accepting payments then they have a claim against both of youYour attorney will probably say return all the $ collected if you want out of the deal or clean up the paperwork and make it a legit deal.
