@Jason O.I've rented to over 700 students (under and grad) and I understand the market well.To do it successfully: time it with the academic calendarSept to May: flat price including utilities and furniture for max revenue, can include a cleaning service to keep an eye on the rental.May to Aug: depends on your city density and the amount of summer classes, increase the price to accommodate the demand or decrease it accordingly.

Seems like he cannot differentiate btwn regular wear and tear and intentional damage/ Paint requirements: Interior walls, ceilings and other exposed surfaces in rental units must be kept smooth, clean, free of flaking, loose or peeling paint, plaster or paper and maintained in a sanitary condition.

They can’t review the “hot” deal their broker just sent them because they’re too busy categorizing emails in color coded category’; they can’t attend the on line networking session because they need to switch over to a more detailed CRM system; they can’t visit the property going up for auction because their scheduled weekly garage cleaning is running overtime…..The Educator – This person never feels they have enough knowledge, experience or education to properly evaluate an investment.

Other things he did.1) did not put a spacer between cabinets, so if I fix that the granite countertop slab gets tossed because the measurments changed and it will be shorter than the cabinets.2) He tried removing a rusted shut 70 year old clean-out drain cap, and caused it to pop off (under pressure) and flood under the cabinets.

@Tom Gimer someone retired, cleaned out their desk and turned in the stack on bills they were working on... lol

The Seller guarantees that the property will be clean and unoccupied within 14 days of the valid offer.

Cleaning, restocking, rebuying broken furniture, hanging up new art, meeting with a general contractor, etc. your kids will be expecting the beach, and yet you will be hanging up wall art. 

Move them out, clean the units up, and place your own tenants at market rate.Any other method is going to create a ton of work and stress, and it probably won't work out well for you in the end.

I made sure that there was a clause for move-out cleaning being paid at an hourly rate on top of costs for cleaning products. 

The carpet cleaner I hire for my rentals also used to have rentals, he sold them paid the taxes, bought a cleaning franchise and retired from his VP sales job.
