i always thought that japanese make great tenants, respectful, clean, pay on time.

Also, does anyone use/have feedback on local Airbnb cleaning services?

I suspected that 1st floor condos don't get too much love, but since this condo doesn't have an elevator, I figured it would be easier to move furniture into.  

A condition of the cash for keys should be that they don't leave behind dumpsters full of things.To me broom swept meant 100% free of belongings and actually cleaned albeit not deeply.

I contacted a professional cleaning company, and they said I will have to remove the entire carpet since they are permanent.

As @Charles Carillo said, you can make the most of that time, but most people just waste the 4-5 years and then end up doing something unrelated to their degree field anyway.Maybe look into a Trade School, like an electrical one....nice clean work that pays really well.

(My company has it’s general liability insurance, of course.)So, this is a temporary arrangement, at least for now.He will charge a fee to pull permits and to do periodic inspections to make sure my subcontractors are doing quality work but I will be project managing the entire job and handling all components of the renovation from design, floor plans, estimating, purchasing, hiring and overseeing the subcontractors, etc.The general contractor and I are regrouping next week to discuss what he would like to charge and I just want to get some feedback from you experts before we meet.

Since they are nearby, they would have local housekeeping and handyman contacts for cleaning and emergencies.

He frequently coaches students on things like floor plan and he really is a master. 

The neighbor is outside cleaning up his yard minding his own business.
