There were also no records of any people storing units on the site.

Garbage disposals are my most often replaced items. 

If I scale to a point where I no longer have time and have to outsource, that line item is already accounted for and the property will still be profitable.  

Having a GC that will provide good documentation, itemized receipts, etc. will make the process much easier I've noticed. 

I would take a couple days and go down there (preferably with a friend...rent a U-Haul truck and go get furniture from thrift stores, antiques stores, and even buy some new stuff.

Then you can take them off-site yourself so you have time until the next changeover or create another option for the cleaners that they go back and finish the sheets and store them so their changeovers will be easier as well.

As expenses fluctuate (property taxes, insurance, maintenance items, etc), the cash flow will be up and down and unreliable.

So if yours is like the old time beach rentals - mismatched thrift store furniture, linens, and decor, you're going to struggle with reviews.
