@Tim Ryan  there is a remote chance that you will get that unicorn tenant that stays in the home for years does not have a bunch of kids that trash the place.. that can happen... however these areas are transient at best..one way to see that is look at all the disconnected dish TV lines many of these homes will have 5 to 10 of those that means 5 to 10 tenants in a 5 year period or less..STRONG property management does not specialize in hood properties.. they lose their butts on these rents are low.. much tougher to collect and simply not worth the drama....

Quote from @Jon Martin: Quote from @JD Martin:  I've got a long enough history with LTRs to know that generally you don't want tenants doing more or less anything because it's amazing how little common sense a lot of people have, and this translates into not asking guests to do chores because 1) they've paid a cleaning fee, 2) it's a vacation even if it's a home, and 3) guests that do chores might just put dirty towels back on shelves and dirty dishes back in cabinets. 

They do 2 jobs...e.g one job and then Uber or Skip the dishes so they are never really at home but about 10 students living there so 2 per room.

Use a non-abrasive scrubber or dish soap to clean the cooktop, and consider using a scraper for any stubborn, burnt-on stains—just be careful to avoid scratching the surface.

Youtube is great - you can learn many different things from what neighborhoods look like, how to fix a part on car, make a certain type of dish/meal, understand a concept..etc

I kicked a box of dishes out of the kitchen and locked the door. 

Vacationers are starting to go back to hotels as Airbnb fees have increased and they don't want to deal with cleaning dishes on top of paying cleaning fees.We stayed in a nice vacation rental on the Oregon Coast and there was evidence that kids or homeless were hanging about when it was vacant.  

If you are going to mail, you have to be ready to dish deals that you don't want to someone else.The most important thing if you do decide to mail (I wouldn't based on what you are looking for, everyone is mailing that), is your message.

Its friggin peatre dish there.

Example of overcharges included* $300 for cleaning windows and cabinets after entire house was professionally cleaned* $80 to replace HVAC filter after entire HVAC system was replaced* $700 for a small list of punch items - 2 door stops, raking backyard, removing satellite dish in backyard and trimming bushesAfter terminating relationship, owner decided to send a termination charge for $450 (contract does stipulate it) - even though the company has not done squat and never placed a tenant and already charged so called 'set up' fee of $300..
