After having a notorious crimial that showed clean, I've learned my lesson.

While the furniture selection, and a cohesive, clean aesthetic will grab attention, it comes down to murals on walls, plate and dish selection, open shelves versus cabinets in the kitchen.  

If the previous tenants trash the place which many in the 3% areas will you will probably need to repaint, throw away a lot of trash, and clean and especially the painting can get expensive.In regards to renting rooms the maintenance might be lower but 1 thing about that is the amount of leasing to be done. 

They complained that the house was not clean.

Right now with the rentals I currently have, I will be sorting out the cashflowing versus the non-performing and cleaning up in-house before pursuing my next venture.

New roof, gutters, wood rot repair, new flooring, heavy cleaning, and paint.

I require $5k Min (only refundable if we can't deliver the title clean and insurable) and 24hr to deposit after signing the assignment agreement. 

Your inspector better clean up the insulation they leave on the ground though.

If they are trying to put a lis pendens in place to prevent you from being able to sell to anyone else, a quick letter from your lawyer will usually clean that up. 

Guests used to be satisfied with the more ordinary, nice, and clean properties.
