I paid for the clean out and a deep cleaning of the home.

We have a few dozen resort communities that are built specifically to be STR and you won't have to worry about zoning or regulations or even HOA cutting you out.It is a very competitive market with so many units, so you do have to be a good operator and have a clean, attractive, well located and themed out home to stand out and perform well. 

We are planning to enter the STR/MTR market(s) in Raleigh, NC and would like to connect with current investors and operators to gain insights on building out our team (cleaning, handyman services, contractors, etc.).

I can even charge a $45 pet fee and add it to the cleaning bill.

I don't know my buying power yet but I already have one house that's been rented out for a few years now. 

It looks clean though...

Compounding interest is a very powerful force. 

Instead, we had someone clean and do light landscaping before putting it back on the market.

I own a small cleaning company that specializes in specific services that prepares properties to rent or to sell, which is how I was introduced to teal estate. 

We have chosen to upgrade to flat top stoves and self cleaning ovens that are black.
