Have a clean criminal history (excludes minor misdemeanors and traffic violations).6.

House is cleaned out  and ready for work to be done. 

Put language in your lease about use of the screen for all fires.I always made it the tenant's responsibility to have the chimney cleaned at least once per year for the built in fireplaces and twice per year for the store bought types as they have smaller chimney piping.  

When they move out, I can access their account to charge for cleaning and repairs.

So I offered to pay for the flight, if they returned a clean and empty house.

They have to keep nose clean, there now in the system, tax's and all regular everything.

More like  2X to 5X the cash out.. these are done with builder developers on their deals So put out 300k get 300k back in profit plus the interest rate. most small builders/ developers need to have a equity partner so you just do both you lend the money and are the equity partner.. pretty clean..

Maybe you can add clear rules on noise, guests, shared space usage, cleaning responsibilities, maintenance expectations, and specific guidelines for shared bathrooms/kitchen.7.

I take a percent off of total top line (including cleaning fees) that is 5-10% less than what a local "hands on" operator would charge.

There thinking some clean-up-fairy comes swooping in with a broom, washes the ashes away and then Bob The Builder n all his friends comes hot on the hells, Bing-Bang-Boom all is rebuilt and were singing kumbayas by Christmas.......Reality is it took about 10 years to rebuild post katrina.
