Or they do that great of a job so you can't let the secret out the bag?

The difference between you and the average first-time poster here is that you're not in here beating your chest and insisting you can do no wrong because you're all that and a bag of chips.

Sanding will create and insane amount of dust that will get everywhere.

You need to do your own due diligence before you bid as best you can so you have a comfort zone that you’re doing the right thing.... it’s no different than buying the gift bag at a country restaurant...you won’t know what’s in the bag unless you try and check it out.

If it requires anything barely beyond a broom sweep and light dust we have cleaners come back in and finish the job at the tenant's cost. 

Airbnb can be a mixed bag, kinda like a box of chocolates—you never know what you're gonna get.

I would recommend a bit more competitive pricing and really giving those first few guests an amazing experience (extra goodie bags, hand written notes etc)As a local cohost, I actually require all my owner's to create their own account and add me as a cohost.

But the way I look at this example is I go to the supermarket I pay on time, bag my own groceries, carry my food out to the car and still the super market raises prices on food.

But the cat's out of the bag for you because the public record shows you made the purchase & even if you quit deed the property to your LLC you're still not protected. 

I would ask whoever you choose about how they clean the chimney, do they use a rotary brush, what dust containment they use, etc.
