Customizing your message is going to work fine for you.This brings up an idea, perhaps BP can "certify" a Pro Account user who has been on the site for at least 12 months and has a clean record.

Labor for removing old/installing new sink, cleaning, painting, etc?  

Additionally, this property is close to the airport so there is a lot of potential to turn it into an airbnb hub, leading to more cashflow and of course, more management/cleaning time.Long story short, would you take a deal with these parameters:- Asking price $165,000 (pre-MLS price) - Duplex consists of: 1 bedroom main floor and basement unit & 1 bedroom upstairs unit- Total rent: $1600/month (tenants pay utilities)Addendum: I just bought my first property with 11% down (before I found BP), so any suggestions (or links to forum posts/blog posts/podcasts) on creative ways to finance this deal, please let me know.Thanks BP community.

You might also consider your holding costs and legal expenses, then decide it is easier to offer an incentive to move out by X date in exchange for a handful of $100 bills upon handing over the keys to a broom clean property. 

They were good tenants for the most part and cleaned the house pretty well but there are some things. 

You definitely want to vent because the yellowing is not avoidable and cleaning it off is no fun!

Auctioned properties seem to be funny things and not everyone does title for them.Then I sat on my hands for a month, paid for the property with cash (money came from various sources, including savings), and then tried to clean up the property.Then I gave up on cleaning it myself and looked to have someone else clean it.

Her goal in all of this should be to keep the unit clean and presentable to potential applicants.Gail

Do a sample calculation (with taxes, some amount of vacancy, cleaning, furniture, etc) and determine what nightly/monthly rate you would need to make a profit.

We intend to redo her unit a bit when she leaves, so not as concerned with cleaning fees or any of that.
