Cleaning and supply fees have stayed about the same for me. 

The key to rent-by-the-room is establishing clear house rules so everyone knows how to get along, clean common spaces, and how to resolve disputes.

They’ll handle most of the day-to-day stuff—guest communication, cleaning, and maintenance.

While down to the studs can look more intimidating, the advantage there is a clean slate. 

And iIt’s waterproof,so it’s great for water areas like basements because if there’s a flood, you can literally pick the flooring up, clean it and put it back down.”

I will obviously have to switch services if other dialers can provide clean numbers.

To estimate expenses, consider setting aside a percentage for management fees, plus costs for cleaning and utilities.

Next make sure it comfortable and extremely clean, a lot can be forgiven, but seeing hair from other people or dirt is a huge turn off even if the house is beautiful, next always be kind and gen.uine, people can tell.
