Paint and carpet are tough enough to organize remotely.

Hauling it away is the bigger task, but cleaning up after a fire is probably even more work.

Why do you have 24k in cleaning fees as expenses for an STR?

In fact, I just tossed away an amortization book of tables that I've had for almost 30 years, when we were doing some winter cleaning - the lowest rate it went down to was 7%.

Guests appreciate functionality more than anything, so as long as they’re clean and do the job, you’re good to go.Little details like this can make a big impact on guest satisfaction.

They'll likely have follow up questions about who handles maintenance, larger SD, etc... so be prepared to quickly answer these.Value to mention:- Professionally cleaned property after each stay and exterior upkeep- Staged photos that you can share with the owner for marketing purposes- Capex coverage up to $XX,000 (might need to include in SD)- Extra $XXX per month (likely may need to pay a little extra in rent to make it worthwhile, otherwise they can collect the same amount as LTR)Also, google "Airbnb apartments" or check their website. 

Their biggest challenge was finding a reliable cleaning crew, but once they built a team, everything ran smoothly.Let me share another example.

Consider cleaning, lawn care, snow removal and supplies as well as utilities  in your calculations.  

A clean U&O means the Seller doesn't have to do anything.The home inspector is a different issue.

I've allowed pets in my STR for five years and haven't had any problems except some extra cleaning a couple times, which was paid for by the guest.
