The following are suggestions to avoid charges:WALLS must be clean and ready to repaint.

The house just needs minor comestic repairs like repainting most of the interior.

I have redone the kitchen and opened it up for open concept look, bathrooms, floors, pool deck, added an outdoor kitchen, added a 4th bedroom and re painted inside and out.

And, you're going to have to fill them every year, which means you deal with advertising, tenant screening, make ready costs (cleaning, repainting, carpet cleaning or replacement) once a year.

Carpet get dirty on traffic areas, walls need touch up or to be repainted - and all these not billable to Tenants because it's normal wear and tear.Besides, vacancies makes the biggest loses in this business - even repairs are not the number one expense.I'm very reluctant to sign even one year lease and if Tenants go month-by-month without renewing, the rent jumps up to $100/mo on $800-900/mo.The only reason to Rent month-by-month I see as you have huge demand for these rentals which might be because you Rent below market or have extremely nice rentals for the price.I'm renting slightly higher than average market and it might take quite some time to re rent the house.

Clean the mold up with bleach and repaint with Kilz, put the exhaust fan in like suggested earlier. 

June 2016 repainted the interior and other minor maintenance in preperation for sale, however 2 contracts have fallen through and we are about to have our 3rd fail (with Possession Prior to Closing to make the situation more complex now).

The whole parcel is good horse pasture that is fenced, though the fencing is in bad shape and will need to be repaired and repainted.

More care and work must be done to repaint and fix up between tenants and nicer appliances cost more to replace when they are trashed.

Ripped out the old carpet and put down fake hardwood vinyl, and repainted.
