They'll also help with specific nuances to a given market, i.e. average cleaning rates, pool rates, how easy finding help is, etc. 

Also, I hate the cleaning afterward, so I've never been able to bring myself to buying my own sprayer.

He also told me that he spent the last 10-15 years off and on homeless and was a drug user who's been clean for the past 4 years. 

Evictions are simple, clean and relatively inexpensive.

I've seen that you do a good amount of cleaning them up before you stick a renter in there so perhaps the issue not so much the capex but the property management.Keep killing it! 

Did they require a lot of rehab (roof, siding, foundation work, serious dry rot, water damage, etc.) or was it mostly cosmetic clean up? 

They were prompt and clean.  

We tell them up front that if this happens they need to keep the place clean so we can show it and get it rented prior to their move. 

Hi,I am owning a nice house currently worth 600K (clean from any mortgage or debt) and finally understood that sitting on this kind of asset is just a monthly waste of money.As I am completely new to the real estate investment business, I am wondering whether it would be the right way to sell my current house and buy several assets for rental or keeping this and getting a loan/mortgage and buy, probably, fewer assets.I am sure there are many answers to my question but I'd really appreciate to just get some kind of idea of what the right direction would be.Thanks in advance for any replies  

He just finished cleaning and repainting entire house and it is in good shape.
