But using that mindset, so is landscaping, plumbing, or clean out during turnover.

That might be especially attractive to folks who want to shed the clothes they wear at work to keep their living space more clean.

Tons of deferred maintenance and a lot of work to do to clean up this mess. 

While we didn’t need significant updates, our team focused on cleaning, staging, and marketing to highlight the home's features.

Trash cleans you know. 

Instead, there should be dollar amounts assigned to specific events, i.e. demolition complete with full haul off, floors broom cleaned, no nails left in studs or subfloors $1,500.Plumbing rough in complete and rough in inspection passed: $4000Final plumbing completed $5000I am clearly making up dollar amounts, but look for these types of bids on large projects.  

I get it if you want to take sub to just long enough to clean it refurb and sell but as a long term investment strategy its STINKS.

A few years ago one of the investors who had multiple properties in Manhatan Beach CA, then Phoenix AZ, who has been doing it for 30-40 years told me: " A property does not really cash flow till its paid off"Honestly, I am looking at my properties, and half of my properties cash flow anywhere from 800-1k, but the remaining dont cash flow at all..Honestly, I cant say that even those that do cash flow 800-1k per month do not really make a big impact because a tenant moves out, I have to clean/fix, etc.

Make sure everyone knows a cleaning schedule, expectation for common areas, how are you splitting utilities, guest policy, etc. 

Its against my loan terms, and you cant stay at a prperty that is being shown it has to be clean.
