They're spending tax-payer money, so they'll cut a check without batting an eye.Document condition before and after with photos, inspect regularly, and you should be fine.

They replaced the locks, shoveled the driveway, took photos, and are listing it today.

Listing photos were terrible, tenant vetting was lackadaisical, checks were sent to wrong addresses, tennants weren't properly vetted, charges for "mulch" and landscaping were charged but never physically carried out.

Quote from @Roger Garner:Multiple estimates and get some photos of their work too.

We have done this for over a year now and this strategy has gone really well.We are very experienced in the STR space and understand that getting bookings is multi-faceted (ie. listing photos, reviews, amenities, PRICING, description, seasonality, etc).

One of my friends uses comped quarterly cleaning as their inspection day and trains the cleaners to take photos and videos of everything.

I always have my Realtors send me photos of the neighborhood.

Are their listings detailed with good quality photos?
