Many home owns want to get rid of their almost young appliances and redo their kitchen. 375-400 gets you a very nice clean used stove.

Carpet, walls, doors, paint etc.

I was quoted about $8K to clean it out, and be able to sell the home for maybe $15K. 

I manage vacation rental homes in Charlotte area, and I recommend you have the following:House specific cleaning checklist per home w/condition section for cleaner to fill outHouse specific house info sheetsHouse specific check out checklist per homeIf you get these three documents done well, this will cover the majority of questions that arise from guests and problems with the property that arise before and after they check out.

After closing, I had the painter start working on the exterior, while I cleaned up and was finishing the interior with the list that I had wanted done.  

Properties are clean and neat.

My client has cleaned up all the trash/crap the tenants left and is planning to clean inside and paint a little to make it more presentable.

Not good… This can be damaging to your walls, structure, potential carpet/flooring damage.

Depending on the property, most won't come back for the belongings, but we have a separate storage space on one of our rental properties that we use for these occurrences so it doesn't cost us anything to store, but our own time spent cleaning out the property.
